✦ Synopsis

seven years before. We performed a malar osteotomy through an extended hemicoronal and subcilliary approach, intramedullar curettage and surface three-dimensional modelling of the explanted bone and posterior osteosynthesis to its original location. Aesthetic result was deemed adequate and patient was satisfied with its outcome.

We discuss current surgical techniques and outcomes for craniofacial fibrous dysplasia and describe current controversia among conservative versus radical treatment.
