Abstract:
Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare self-limiting disease, typically occurring in children and young adults, that causes slow progressive atrophy of one-half of the face. It primarily affects the subcutaneous tissue and skin with some cases exhibiting deeper extension to glandular, osseous and muscular structures. Neurologic and ocular involvement is variable. Neuroimaging with computed tomography (CT) scan aids in demonstrating radiological features, assessing disease severity, and detecting neurological and ocular complications. We present a severe case of PRS in a 25-year-old female with right-sided facial asymmetry, diagnosed based on medical history, clinical examination and head CT scan findings.
