ABSTRACT
objective:
To study the etiopathogenisis、clinical features、diagnosis and treatments of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus.Method:
Two cases of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus without any symptoms was reported with relevant literature review.Result:
No aggravation was found after 6 months-follow-up.Conclusion:
The cranial fibrous displasia has low incidence rate with non-specific symptoms and high rate of misdiagnosis. The monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus without any symptom is rarely seen clinically. Imageological examination,for example,CT and MRI,is valuable for the diagnosis of this disease. The histopathological evidence is absolutely necessary to make definite diagnosis. The conservative treatment may be chosen for the asymptomatic cases. Nasal Endoscopic surgery can not only remove the diseased region but also make diagnosis.The long-term follow-up should be carried out in all of these patients.
