Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon bone disorder affecting various parts of the skeleton, often affecting facial and cranial bones. In this case, a 10-year-old patient was diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia of the ethmoid sinus at an early age. The patient has experienced nasal congestion, snores, and worsening nasal patency since 2019. ⋯ The most common period for clinical manifestations and diagnosis is around 10 years of age. The preferred approach in managing fibrous dysplasia involves symptomatic treatment, which can alleviate airway obstruction, restore normal globe position and visual function, and address physical deformities. Surgical intervention is recommended only for patients with severe functional impairment, progressive deformities, or malignant transformation.
