title: Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia complicated by mucocele: the role of radionuclide scintigraphic methods in the diagnosis.
abstract: A rare case of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia complicated by mucocele is described. Pre-surgical diagnosis was assisted by blood-pool scintigraphy and bone scanning, with special emphasis on the vertical skull view. Other noninvasive methods like x-rays and cranial computed tomographic scans are also illustrated.
