Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Association Areas of the Cortex

Association Areas of the Cortex

Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

Background:

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy.
It typically manifests in childhood or adolescence, affecting one side of the face.

Observation:

This report presents an atypical case of PRS with onset at age 43.
The patient exhibited en coup de sabre morphea, progressive hemifacial atrophy, ipsilateral neuralgia and migraine, and contralateral neurological abnormalities.

Findings:

The late onset at 43 years old is a key distinguishing feature.
The case highlights the diverse and complex clinical manifestations of Parry-Romberg syndrome.
Associated neurological deficits underscore the systemic nature of the condition.

Implications:

This case expands the known age range for PRS onset.
It emphasizes the need for considering PRS in adults with unexplained facial atrophy and neurological symptoms.
Further research into the pathogenesis of late-onset PRS is warranted.
