A member asked:
I am having fibrous dysplasia in right temporal bone. do i need to go for surgery. somebody told that the bone becomes weak and fractures.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms?: In the skull especially, a pathological fracture from temporal-bone fibrous dysplasia is unlikely -- it's not bearing your body weight. If it interferes with your hearing or produces a cosmetic problem, surgery will be available and can be individualized.
