Abstract

A 20-year-old male with craniomandibular deformity and almost total visual loss of the right eye due to bilateral optic atrophy underwent cerebral nonenhanced computed tomography (NECT) examinations. He had multiple sphenoidal-temporoparietal meningiomas, with adjacent hyperostoses and distant calvarial hyperdense lesions, as well as sclerotic expansion of right mandibular condyle. History, clinical and imaging findings were suggestive of associated fibrous dysplasia (FD), which explained the visual loss due to optic nerve compression through sphenoidal optic foramens. Cranial and mandibular FD and concurrent multiple globoid meningiomas in this case may suggest a mutual influence, which may explain the etiopathogenesis of FD lesions and/or bone hyperdensities adjacent or distant to meningiomas.
