Extra-Cephalic Involvement in the Syndrome of Parry Romberg
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Image Library - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Parry-Romberg Syndrome (PRS) is an uncommon disorder characterized by a slowly and acquired progressive atrophy involving skin, soft tissue, cartilage, and bony structures. Accompanying atrophies of the other parts of the body are rarely reported. We report an extremely unusual case with PRS associated with contralateral lower extremity atrophy.
