ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Surgical decompression to the optic-chiasmatic region in craneofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD) must be performed safely to improve or stabilize visual loss.METHOD:
We describe a technical nuance when facing on a huge, deformed skull with potentially imbricated dura mater. Craniectomy was performed in concentric arches allowing to expose surgical field and elevated step by step. Bilateral micro-decompression was performed after without difficulties.CONCLUSIONS:
Decompressing both optic nerves using this technique is safe and relatively simple to perform.Palabras clave
