Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Hemifacial atrophy, originally described by Parry and Henoch and Romberg1 consists of slow progressive atrophy of the soft tissue of essentially half the face which is characterized by progressive wasting of subcutaneous fat, atrophy of skin, cartilage, bone and muscle.1,2 Although, the atrophy is confined to one side of the face and cranium, it may occasionally spread to the neck, one side of the body and is accompanied by usually contralateral Jacksonian epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia and changes in eyes and hair. The hemifacial atrophy is a form of localized scleroderma that is supported by concurrence of scleroderma. The presence of antinuclear antibodies in serum suggested that ParryRomberg syndrome may be a form of localized scleroderma
