Parry-Romberg syndrome has similar characteristics, but there tends to be more extensive involvement of the ipsilateral subcutaneous tissue, calvarium, and orbit, [22] and
facial hemiatrophy is typical rather than the hemifacial cutaneous sclerosis that typifies linear scleroderma.
Three-dimensional imaging of progressive
facial hemiatrophy (parry-romberg syndrome) with unusual conjunctival findings.
The patient had not experienced any trauma and did not have any endocrinological problems, developmental anomalies, and/or systemic diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis, orbital metastasis, osteomyelitis, progressive lipodystrophy, or
facial hemiatrophy. The possibility of carcinoma in the pterygopalatine fossa was excluded by a FDG-positron emission tomography study.
It provided descriptions of Parry's Disease, now known as Grave's Disease or thyrotoxicosis, enlargement of the thyroid gland; the first recorded cases of Hirschsprung's disease, a birth defect that affects the nerve cells in the large intestine; and Parry-Romberg Syndrome, or
facial hemiatrophy, a rare disease characterized by progressive shrinkage and degeneration of the tissues beneath the skin (Hull 338).

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) or Progressive
Facial Hemiatrophy is classically characterized by a slow progressive degeneration (atrophy) of the soft tissues of half of the face (hemifacial atrophy).
INTRODUCTION: Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) also known as "progressive
facial hemiatrophy" is characterized by a progressive but self-limited atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissue on one side of the face.
