  • Title: Steroid-induced visual recovery in fibrous dysplasia.
    Author: Arroyo JG, Lessell S, Montgomery WW.
    Journal: J Clin Neuroophthalmol; 1991 Dec; 11(4):259-61. PubMed ID: 1838545.
    Abstract:
    Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of bone that may be associated with acute loss of vision. Surgical intervention is generally advocated and sometimes restores vision in these patients. We report a case of a patient with unilateral optic neuropathy from fibrous dysplasia who suffered two acute episodes of visual impairment. The first episode of vision loss was reversed by surgery and the second by corticosteroid treatment. A trial of corticosteroid therapy may be beneficial in cases of acute vision loss due to fibrous dysplasia.
