  • Title: Parry-Romberg syndrome with multiple intracranial cysts: A rare case report.
    Author: Gupta R, Patil H.
    Journal: J Pediatr Neurosci; 2016; 11(2):145-9. PubMed ID: 27606027.
    Abstract:
    Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare, poorly understood degenerative condition characterized by atrophic changes affecting one side of the face. The cause of these changes remains obscure. Migraine and facial pain such as trigeminal neuralgia are the most common neurological symptoms in this patient group. Sometimes, it causes epilepsy and rarely cerebral hemiatrophy, meningeal thickening, cortical dysgenesis, calcified lesions, aneurysms, and intracranial vascular malformations. Herein, the author reports the first case of PRS with multiple large intracranial cysts producing raised intracranial pressure.
