A queer case of Parry–Romberg syndrome with coexisting psychiatric ailment

Abstract

Progressive facial hemiatrophy or Parry–Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder of unknown etiology which is characterized by atrophy of the one side of the face and various neurological complications. Clinical overlap is sometimes seen with linear scleroderma or en coup de sabre. We present such a case that manifested clinically with partial epilepsy and novel psychiatric complaints of agoraphobia.
