Fibrous dysplasia of the cranial air sinuses is rarely reported in the literature. This is the first report of frontal lobe abscess (FLA) associated with fibrous dysplasia of the frontal sinus (FDFS). A 29-year-old female presented with seizures and acute confusion.

BACKGROUND This case report describes a transadnexal transorbital roof approach to the anterior cranial fossa to treat an epidural abscess in a patient who had previously undergone extensive craniofacial reconstruction secondary to fibrous dysplasia. A standard frontal craniotomy or even a

Forty patients with hypertelorism seen in the past 16 years were reviewed retrospectively. Combined intra- and extracranial surgical approach was used for 37 severe and moderate cases and subcranial approach (U-osteotomy) for 3 moderate cases. Gratifying results were obtained in patients with

A total of 30 patients, aged 16 to 67, with neoplasms in the brain base and in paranasal sinuses were operated on, during 1997-2002, at Burdenko's Research Institute for Neurosurgery of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS). A majority of patients (21) had meningiomas. Other observations

We report on a patient having McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) associated with non-autoimmune hyperthyroidism associated with thyrotoxic crisis. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia developed at age 8, and café-au-lait pigmentation was noted on the skin. At age 18, he developed hyperthyroidism with multiple
