Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare self-limiting disease, typically occurring in children and young adults, that causes slow progressive atrophy of one-half of the face. It primarily affects the subcutaneous tissue and skin with some cases exhibiting deeper extension to glandular, osseous and muscular structures. Neurologic and ocular involvement is variable. Neuroimaging with computed tomography (CT) scan aids in demonstrating radiological features, assessing disease severity, and detecting neurological and ocular complications. We present a severe case of PRS in a 25-year-old female with right-sided facial asymmetry, diagnosed based on medical history, clinical examination and head CT scan findings.
帕里-罗姆伯格综合征(PRS)是一种罕见的自限性疾病,通常发生于儿童和年轻人,可导致面部一侧缓慢进行性萎缩。它主要影响皮下组织和皮肤,部分病例会向腺体、骨骼和肌肉结构深层蔓延。神经和眼部受累情况不一。计算机断层扫描(CT)神经成像有助于显示放射学特征、评估疾病严重程度以及检测神经和眼部并发症。我们报告一例25岁女性的严重PRS病例,该患者存在右侧面部不对称,根据病史、临床检查及头部CT扫描结果确诊。
