INTRODUCTION: We describe a case of a 9-year-old girl who developed progressive severe retro-orbital pain and partial visual loss in association with left optic-nerve compression due to polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the skull. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Intradural decompression of the optic nerve resulted in immediate and complete resolution of the pain as well as a vast visual improvement. CONCLUSION: In cases of fibrous dysplasia of the skull with evidence of optic-nerve compression, relief of retro-orbital pain should be an additional consideration when deciding to proceed with surgical management.
