title: [Fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones. A CT study].
abstract: The authors report 7 cases of fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones which were evaluated with CT. The involvement of the facial bones by fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon event, which causes different syndromes according to the extent of bone invasion. In all the cases occurred to our observation CT allowed an exact spatial evaluation of the dysplasia, and therefore a correct surgical planning. Moreover, CT densitometric values and CT appearance of fibrous dysplasia often suggested the correct diagnosis.
