Parry romberg syndrome

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare condition that involves a slow breakdown and wasting away (atrophy) of the skin and soft tissues of the face. It can also cause the muscles, cartilage, and bones of the face to deteriorate. Parry-Romberg syndrome can affect the brain and cause neurological problems, as well as involve the jaws and eyes. It usually occurs on the left side of the face, with progressive shrinking and deterioration. The changes in skin usually start at the middle of the face, like the upper lip or below the nose before spreading out toward the eye, ear, and neck. The tongue, gums, and roof of the mouth can also be affected. Some people may have seizures or periods of major pain of their face.
