  • Title: Parry-Romberg syndrome vasculopathy and its treatment with botulinum toxin.
    Author: Borodic GE, Caruso P, Acquadro M, Chick S.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2014; 30(1):e22-5. PubMed ID: 23719195.
    Abstract:
    Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare condition characterized by progressive, hemifacial atrophy, hair loss, enophthalmos, retinal vasculopathy occasionally associated with hemicranial pain syndrome (secondary trigeminal neuralgia). The cause of the condition is unknown; however, substantial evidence suggests that vasculopathy plays a significant role in the genesis of the neurologic damage and facial lipodystrophy. Herein describes a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome treated with repetitive botulinum type A toxin injections, with almost complete resolution of severe chronic pain.
