Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare pathologic process, characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. A case of Parry-Romberg syndrome with ocular involvement is reported. A 27-year-old male patient with Parry-Romberg syndrome was interdisciplinary investigated and treated. For reconstruction of hemifacial soft tissues a free vascular parascapular graft was performed. Opthalmological findings included an evident enophthalmos and an eyelid lag with keratopathy and epiphora. Furthermore pupillary disturbances and endothelial precipitates were detectable. Complete fundus examination showed a unilateral optic disc swelling, central vitreous opacities and peripheral pigmentary disturbances. In the presented case of Parry-Romberg syndrome a rare association to ophthalmological involvement could be found. Beside the enophthalmos and eyelid alterations, also a panuveitis with papillitis should be treated by steroid therapy.
