[Fibrous dysplasia of the skull--a radiological, computer tomographic and scintigraphic study (author's transl)].
The diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia (Jaffé-Lichtenstein) of the skull can generally be made by plain films, occasionally supplemented by tomography. The differential diagnosis from sclerosing meningiomas in the anterior fossa can usually be made by cranial computer tomography. Cerebral scintigraphy does not play an important part in the differentiation from a meningioma. Total body scintigraphy, on the other hand, is useful, particularly in distinguishing between monostotic and polyostotic bone conditions. Invasive neurological methods, such as cerebral angiography, are in our opinion unnecessary unless there are definite clinical focal cerebral symptoms in the presence of a normal computer tomogram.
