Steroid Responsive Acute Recurrent Visual Loss: An Unusual Presentation Of Fibrous Dysplasia

Abstract

We report a case of orbitofrontal fibrous dysplasia that presented with three episodes of acute recurrent visual loss. All the episodes of vision loss were reversed by corticosteroid treatment. Though surgical intervention is generally advocated when fibrous dysplasia is associated with visual loss, corticosteroid therapy may be tried when waiting for surgery or in patients contraindicated for surgery. This is second case reported in literature for successful treatment of fibrous dysplasia associated visual loss with steroid.
