  • Title: Remission of seizures with immunosuppressive therapy in Parry-Romberg syndrome and en coup de sabre linear scleroderma: Case report and brief review of the literature.
    Author: Anderson LE, Treat JR, Licht DJ, Kreiger PA, Knight AM.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2018 Nov; 35(6):e363-e365. PubMed ID: 30168188.
    Abstract:
    Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is characterized by progressive atrophy of facial skin, soft tissues, muscle, and bone. En coup de sabre syndrome is a form of linear scleroderma (LS) involving the skin of the frontoparietal forehead and scalp. Both conditions can be associated with neurologic findings, including seizures. We explore a case in which skin findings and seizure burden improved with methotrexate therapy.
