Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD) is one of three types of FD which can affect the craniofacial complex. It is the proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabecules. It is a developmental tumor-like condition that is characterized by replacement of normal bone. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of craniofacial polyostotic FD that led to vision loss in the same affected side.
