Retinitis Pigmentosa Associated With Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy (Parry–romberg Syndrome)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

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.
