Purpose:
The Parry-Romberg syndrome, or progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a slowly progressive marked facial deformity because of atrophy of subcutaneous fat and skin, cartilage, and bone wasting. Various ocular findings may be present in approximately 40% of cases of progressive hemifacial atrophy. We describe a novel case of a 42-year-old woman with progressive hemifacial atrophy and bilateral retinal dystrophy consistent with retinitis pigmentosa.
Methods:
Case report and literature review.
Results:
Clinical features, fundus photographs, visual fields, and electroretinographic findings are reported.
Conclusion:
Progressive hemifacial atrophy can occur with retinitis pigmentosa.
