  • Title: Progressive hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) report with review of genetics and nosology.
    Author: Lewkonia RM, Lowry RB.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1983 Feb; 14(2):385-90. PubMed ID: 6601461.
    Abstract:
    We describe a boy with mild hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome); he had localized scleroderma on a leg and his trunk, and antinuclear antibodies in his serum. These findings support suggestions that this disorder could be a variant of localized scleroderma rather than a developmental anomaly or dysplasia. A review of the literature does not support assertions of autosomal dominant inheritance of the condition.
