    Author: Chapman MS, Peraza JE, Spencer SK.
    Journal: J Cutan Med Surg; 1999 Jul; 3(5):260-2. PubMed ID: 10381952.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The Parry-Romberg syndrome is an acquired progressive hemifacial atrophy involving the subcutaneous tissues of the scalp and face. Involvement of the extremities is uncommon in this syndrome. OBJECTIVE: A case of contralateral and ipsilateral extremity involvement in the Parry-Romberg syndrome is reported, and the difficulties in distinguishing this syndrome from linear scleroderma en coup de sabre are reviewed. METHODS: A MEDLINE search for cases of Parry-Romberg syndrome with contralateral extremity involvement was performed and the cases reviewed. RESULTS: Contralateral extremity involvement in the Parry-Romberg syndrome is rare. CONCLUSION: This may be the first case reported in the English literature of Parry-Romberg syndrome with contralateral and ipsilateral extremity involvement.
