Dr N. Kishore, Drradhakumar, Dr Natwar Lal Sharma

Abstract :

Parry Romberg syndrome is a rare acquired poorly understood neurocutaneous syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by slow progressive atrophic changes commonly affecting one half of the face. The exact incidence and etiology remains unclear. Apart from the multifactorial etiology proposed, the possible primary cause is mainly attributed to the cereal disturbance of the fat metabolism. The syndrome overlaps with "en coup de sae"and morphea, with an ill defined relationship existing between the two. We describe a girl with localized cicatricial alopecia over frontal region of scalp with coup de sae lesion. Biopsy from affected site is suggestive of morphea. These findings support the diagnosis of Parry Romberg syndrome
