Abstract:
The authors report a case of a 24-year-old man with unilateral sphenoid dysplasia in the absence of NF-I. Preoperatively, the patient was presented with pulsating exophthalmos and headache. The patient underwent cranioorbital sphenoid wing reconstruction with split calvarial bone graft. Postoperatively, he showed relieved headache and significant reduction of exophthalmos by exophthalmometry. There were no evidence of osteomyelitis and neurologic complication.
