Abstract:
Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is an unusual neurological entity characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. We describe the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with recurrent seizures and facial asymmetry of 1 year duration. Computed tomography (CT) of the head showed right-sided hemifacial atrophy involving the subcutaneous fat, muscles, and bones alongwith subcortical white matter hypodensity, having parenchymal foci of calcification. The etiology of PRS is debated from being secondary to abnormalities in fat metabolism to autoimmune and inflammatory causes. The treatment is symptomatic and is targeted at relief of seizures and migraine. Steroids and other immunomodulators have proven successful in some cases. Surgical correction may be done once the disease stabilizes.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
