ABSTRACT
Fibrous dysplasia is a hamartoma appearing as a benign pathologic process in which normal bone tissue formation is replaced by overgrowth of fibrous connective tissue. The problem of diagnosis and treatment of patients with fibrous dysplasia remains unsolved in the absence of a uniform understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis. Treatment and rehabilitation of patients with midface fibrous dysplasia is a complicated medico-social problem, which requires interaction of specialists of different fields to resolve it. The disease presents a practical interest for doctors of more than 20 specialties, as it can lead to disability. The present article describes a clinical case of interdisciplinary interaction of specialists in the fields of maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, plastic surgery and radiology involved in complex treatment of a patient with midface fibrous dysplasia accompanied by eyeball dislocation, decreased vision, as well as progressive impairment of nasal breathing function. The performed treatment resulted in favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes including elimination of exophthalmos, vertical strabismus, lacrimation disorders, nasal breathing disorders, increase of visual acuity and improvement of external appearance.
