  • Retinal vasculitis the first clue in the diagnosis of progressive Hemifacial Atrophy.
    European journal of rheumatology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Atefeh Vafa, Ofelya Gevorgyan, Sobia Hassan
    Abstract:

    Retinal vasculitis is a sight-threatening condition that can occur as an isolated ocular disorder or in association with a number of systemic diseases. Parry-Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive Hemifacial Atrophy (PHA), is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by unilateral facial Atrophy and is associated with multiple ophthalmologic and neurologic manifestations. Here we report the case of a 17-year-old man with no prior diagnosis of PHA, who presented with a sudden onset of floaters and decreased vision in the right eye; he was found to have retinal vasculitis and uveitis in the right eye. Routine workup did not reveal the cause of retinal vasculitis. However, thorough physical examination demonstrated features of PHA overlapping with linear scleroderma en coup de sabre. The patient was started on treatment with systemic steroids with a later addition of methotrexate; he responded to treatment with considerable improvement in his symptoms and ophthalmologic examination.

  • Root resorptions in a patient with Hemifacial Atrophy
    Journal of endodontics, 1994
    Co-Authors: Samia Fayad, Bjorn Steffensen
    Abstract:

    Hemifacial Atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) is a rare but well-recognized condition. The developmental effects on facial and oral structures have been well documented in the literature. However, the etiology of Hemifacial Atrophy remains unknown. Previous reported alterations in tooth growth and development include delayed tooth eruption, abnormal root morphology, and malocclusion but not root resorption. This report presents the orofacial changes from Hemifacial Atrophy in a 22-yr-old woman and describes the occurrence of root resorptions in two regions affected by this condition. The concurrent presence of root resorptions in both the maxilla and mandible in the regions showing the most severe dental malformations points to root resorption as an additional complication of Hemifacial Atrophy.

  • reconstruction of Hemifacial Atrophy with lateral arm adipofascial flap and orthognathic surgery a case report
    Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2012
    Co-Authors: Heedon Hwang, Jinwook Choi, Sungtak Lee, Sanghan Lee, Taegeon Kwon
    Abstract:

    Treatment of Hemifacial Atrophy is a challenge for oral & maxillofacial surgeons. The surgical approach basically focused on skeletal correction so that the overlying soft tissues can be improved by the osseous change of the skeleton. However, the treatment ends up with insufficient soft tissue mophology in most cases even after skeletal correction. Therefore comprehensive hard and soft tissue reconstruction is needed for treating the Hemifacial Atrophy. In this case report, we experienced a successful result after combined orthognathic and microvascular adipofascial flap reconstruction for Hemifacial Atrophy patient.
