title: Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia complicated by acute, reversible visual loss: report of two cases.
abstract: We report two cases of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia which presented with acute visual loss. The first patient had a sphenoid sinus mucocele compressing the optic chiasm. In the second patient the optic canal was narrowed by dysplastic bone. In both cases optic nerve decompression restored vision to normal.
