[Pathologic bone fractures: definition and classification].

A bone fracture is a complete or incomplete discontinuity of bone caused by a direct or indirect force. A pathological bone fracture is a bone fracture which occurs without adequate trauma and is caused by a preexistent pathological bone lesion. Causes include resorption of bone mass (osteoporosis), reduction of bone quality (osteomalacia, osteonecrosis), insufficient bone production (osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia), augmented bone resorption (giant cell granulomas, aneurysmal bone cyst), pathological bone remodelling (Paget's disease), or local bone destruction due to tumorous growths. A pathological bone fracture has to be detected clinically as well as radiologically and its cause diagnosed histologically in order to ensure adequate therapy.

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. conservative surgical management. Review of literature and report of a case.

The present study presents a case of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia attenuating the orbit and the nasal airway, which was treated by conservative surgical approaches. Nasal and orbital decompression, and facial recontouring were performed simultaneously. This was done via a transconjunctival and transcaruncular approaches with a lateral canthotomy, which provided access to the four walls of the orbit, midface and the lateral nasal wall. The reduction of the turbinates was done through a standard turbinectomy approach and the nasal decompression was done via intercartilaginous access and a full transfixion incision and nasal degloving. The bulk of the lesion was removed with chisels, gauges, and rotary instruments. The orbital debulking extended to the orbital apex, which was not involved by the fibrous dysplasia. Approximately 200 mg of dysplastic bone was removed. The functional and aesthetic results were good. The symptoms of chronic conjunctivitis and nasal obstruction have been alleviated and there is no deterioration of his condition. The symptoms of anosmia have also disappeared. Conservative surgical treatment of craniofacial dysplasia in adults with stable disease is recommended.
