💀🦴Extreme case of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia 🦴💀

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is a bone disease of the face and skull that replaces normal bone with fibrous-type tissue. This tissue is not as hard as normal bone, and because it is soft and stringy, and as these areas of fibrous tissue grow and expand over time, it makes the bone more fragile, prone to break, and eventually become deformed. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia may cause shifting of facial features and facial asymmetry, such as incorrect placement of the eyes, misalignment of the jaw, and other problems. It may appear in childhood, usually between the ages of 3 and 15. Boys are more often affected. Surgical treatment is usually required. Most cases of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia manifest as swellings that cause facial deformity and surgical recontouring after cessation of growth seems to provide the best results.
