Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parry Romberg Syndrome (PRS) is a less common genetic condition presenting with progressive hemifacial atrophy involving skin, underlying connective tissue, muscle and facial bone. Neurological manifestations include seizures, headaches, deafness and trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medications, while stroke is a less common presentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 43-year-old right-handed female with previous history of Lower Motor Neuron (LMN) type facial palsy, seizure disorder and linear scleroderma, presented to our clinic with recurrent cryptogenic strokes. She developed progressive hemifacial atrophy on the left side and left eye ectropion and was eventually diagnosed with rare Parry Romberg Syndrome. RESULTS Patient underwent extensive work up for stroke to rule out etiologies like hyperlipidemia, diabetes, lupus and vasculitis. Peripheral labs for inflammatory markers and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies were unremarkable. Brain imaging at different points in time showed progressive atrophy of brain parenchyma, overlying bone, connective tissue and facial muscles on the left side. Central Nervous System (CNS) vessel imaging and diagnostic cerebral angiogram was unremarkable. CONCLUSION This novel case underscores the potential CNS involvement in PRS, which is a rare disease entity. Neurological manifestations are not uncommon, including stroke. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of stroke in this rare disease process, that could help develop potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare degenerative disorder of unknown cause that causes slow, progressive atrophy on one side of the face. The cause may be a malfunction of the sympathetic nervous system, with or without neurological symptoms. Atrophy usually begins in childhood and progresses gradually over several years. Stabilization can take up to 20 years. There is no definitive cure for this condition, but once the condition is stabilized, reconstructive surgery of the damaged skin and soft tissue can correct the deformity. The objective of this article is to present an insight into the etiology of PRS with a case report of a 15-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with PRS due to trauma and developed progressive hemifacial atrophy without neurological manifestations. PRS is a progressive disease that severely affects one side of the face. Because of its devastating effects on the entire body, treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. Further research is needed to clearly understand the etiology and provide patients with accurate treatment plans.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare degenerative disease of unknown etiology, characterized by slow progressive hemifacial atrophy of the soft tissues (subcutaneous fat, muscles), cartilage and bones. Beside hemifacial atrophy, various ophthalmic and periocular manifestations of PRS has been described. Progressive enophthalmos and eyelid changes are only some of many other symptoms, as the disease can affect all layers of the eyeball. This article reviews literature on ophthalmic manifestations of PRS and reports our own case and treatment approach for a patient with this pathology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigates crown and root anomalies in patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome. DESIGN This is a retrospective review of patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome who were evaluated at a tertiary care center from 1980-2020. SETTING Patients seen in the dental unit from 1980-2020. PATIENTS, PARTICIPANTS Seventeen patients with documented Parry-Romberg Syndrome were referred for dental evaluation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES All dental anomalies were documented. Root anomalies were assessed using panoramic radiographs and cone beam CT (CBCT) scans to evaluate buccal-lingual, mesio-distal, and axial measurements of hypoplastic teeth, which were compared to those of contralateral teeth. RESULTS Findings included agenesis (29%, n = 5), hypoplastic teeth (29%, n = 5), delayed canine eruption (24%, n = 4), and mulberry molars (12%, n = 2). Of the five patients with tooth hypoplasia, four had CBCT records and the fifth had panoramic radiographs available for assessment. Axial length was always shorter in hypoplastic teeth relative to contralateral teeth, with differences ranging from 1.2-9.2 mm. Differences in crown size of hypoplastic versus contralateral teeth were unpredictable but always present. CONCLUSIONS Patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome can have hypoplastic roots with atypical crown morphology. A patient's specific dental anomaly will influence planning and treatment.

Abstract
This case report describes a 46-year-old female with a history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome status post-parathyroidectomy, thymectomy via robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and pituitary adenoma resection presenting with parasympathetic hyperactivity and Parry-Romberg syndrome. Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder that manifests as facial hemiatrophy. Reported symptoms include cognitive dysfunction, olfactory hallucinations, and parasympathetic hyperactivity: miosis of the right eye, anhidrosis, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, and orthostatic hypotension. Previous reports have noted associations between Parry-Romberg syndrome and sympathetic hyperactivity and dysregulation. This case report focuses on an association between Parry-Romberg syndrome and unopposed parasympathetic activity.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a hemifacial atrophy which can be complicated by melasma. We present two cases of Parry-Romberg syndrome, treated by fat transfer and bleaching of the skin using a modified "Kligman's formula." The atrophy, as well as the skin dyschromia, improved, and the results were stable.

Abstract
Parry Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder of unknown etiology, seen most commonly as an asymmetry of the face, rarely affecting the limbs. Trophic malfunction of sympathetic system has been proposed as a cause. The syndrome presents with characteristic skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes in the affected half of the face, with or without neurological signs and symptoms. Imaging studies sometimes reveal lesions in the brain corresponding with the neurological defects. The disfiguring nature of the disease Results in psychological disturbance and communication disorders like speech defects, as also dental anomalies. The present article reports such a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with mainly hard tissue changes, without neurological or intraoral soft tissue changes. There has to be prompt multi-disciplinary management of such cases keeping in mind development, aesthetics, speech, and masticatory function, along with symptomatic treatment of neurological deficits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) or idiopathic hemifacial atrophy is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome. It is characterized by slowly progressive atrophy, located on one side of the face, primarily involving the skin, fat and connective tissue. PRS seems to overlap with "en coupe de sabre" morphea. MAIN OBSERVATIONS We present a case of hemifacial atrophy in a 14-year-old boy treated with topical calcipotriol-betamethasone ointment. The diagnosis of PRS was established mainly based on the clinical findings and histological picture. The time to diagnosis was almost 9 years, similar to the mean time reported in the literature. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the pathogenesis and stopping disease progression is important as it can cause severe disfigurement and has neurological and psychiatric complications. Not much is known about the efficacy of agents used in the treatment of this syndrome making treatment decision very difficult. Possible complications, pathophysiology and therapeutic options are being discussed.
