[Fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone and cerebral occlusive vasculopathy: report of a case].
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disease with unknown etiology. Skull attempt may cause neurological disorders. The diagnostic can be made through radiological examination. A case of a patient with right temporal bone involvement with facial palsy, right parietal lobe infarctions and elevated anticardiolipin antibody titers is presented. Cerebral angiography showed occlusion of several cerebral arteries. Post mortem examination displayed recent myocardial infarction, ischemic cerebral softening, and generalized arteriosclerosis. The simultaneous occurrence of fibrous dysplasia and a probable anticardiolipin syndrome is commented.
