Suppl-1, M7: Computed Tomography in Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Series with Review of Literature and Classification UpdateDOI: 10.2174/1874210601711010384 Keywords: Classification update, Computed tomography, Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, Fibrous dysplasia, Ground glass appearance, Panoramic radiographs Abstract: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibroosseous lesion of the osseous structures of the body. It is not a commonly reported lesion yet it is considered as an important lesion which can affect the maxillofacial region as well. As a result, it can cause deformity of the jaw bones which can further lead to severe facial asymmetry. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD) is one of the subtypes of FD that can affect the bones of the craniofacial complex, including the mandible and maxilla. It can also present as facial asymmetry and can be investigated with the help of Maxillofacial Radiology and Imaging. The radiographic findings may vary according to the extent and degree of the disease. Although conventional radiographs provide a good clue regarding the lesion, advanced maxillofacial imaging is capable of providing detailed extent of the disease. Furthermore the classification of CFD is not very clear in the literature
