Signs Of Parry-Romberg Syndrome
Parry-Romberg syndrome is an acquired, rare disorder that occurs when half of the face slowly atrophies and shrinks. There have been rare cases in which both facial sides have been affected. In some individuals, there's also atrophy in the limbs on the side of the body with the facial atrophy. The severity of symptoms varies widely from person to person. It's possible additional symptoms will occur, such as abnormalities in neurology, or abnormalities regarding the teeth or eyes. The syndrome most commonly occurs within the first decade or two of an individual's life, although it is possible for it to occur in adults as well. The disease's exact cause is currently unknown, and it appears to happen randomly for reasons not understood right now. Individuals will rarely have all associated symptoms, but will typically have at least some.
