Objective: To present a case of progressive hemifacial atrophy in a young woman with Parry-Romberg Syndrome and the role of autologous fat transfer to improve her aesthetic appearance and lessen facial asymmetry. Methods: Design:           Case Report Setting:           Tertiary Government Training Hospital Patient:           One Results: A 20-year old woman consulted because of drooping of the right eyelid and gradual thinning of right cheek muscles since age 16.  On examination, the right facial muscles were hypoplastic with prominent facial bony ridges. An MRI scan showed atrophy of the right medial pterygoid and masseter. She underwent autologous fat transfer on the right side of the face to augment the cheek, improve cosmetic appearance and lessen facial asymmetry.   Conclusion: Our patient is satisfied and happy with the outcome and cosmetic appearance of her autologous fat transfer and is ready to undergo the same procedure if the need arises in the future. Although no definite cure exists for Parry Romberg syndrome, our report illustrates the role of autologous fat transfer as an inexpensive, easily harvested and biocompatible material to improve facial asymmetry. The procedure yielded encouraging results, although long-term benefits remain uncertain.   Keywords: Parry-Romberg syndrome; progressive hemifacial atrophy; autologous transplantation

Aim: The purpose of this article is to prove the importance of autologous fat transfer (AFT) in scarring alopecia. Methods: We present a complete clinical report of 21 cases treated with a combined procedure of AFT and hair transplantation (HT) done in the last three years. Results: The main findings of this study are the constant, early and more predictable hair regrowth after the hair transplant done on a pre-treated scarring alopecia. Conclusion: Tissue regeneration through AFT can significantly improve hair growth in the area of scarring alopecia, underlining, once again, the tremendous potential of this approach. Future studies may need to be carried out.

Fundoscopic Examination

Papillitis is a vision threatening condition, characterized by inflammation of the optic disc which often mimicked the features of papilledema; hence these patients often referred to the Neurosurgeon to exclude any intracranial pathology. This entity is associated with a number of intracranial, as well as extracranial pathologies. Among them, Parry–Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy (PHA) possesses multiple ophthalmologic and neurologic manifestations. Here we report the case of a 14-year-old girl, who presented with the feature of progressive dimness of vision involving the right eye. Thorough physical examination demonstrated features of PHA overlapping with papillitis on fundoscopic examination. The patient treated with steroids, following which there was visual improvement. After evaluation in our facility, she was referred to department of plastic and reconstructive surgery for aesthetic improvement. Bang. J Neurosurgery 2020; 10(1): 97-101

Facial Defect

Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure associated to functional (Frey’s syndrome) as well as aesthetic (facial asymmetry) complications that can be very disturbing for the patient. Several procedures have been described to primarily avoid or secondarily reconstruct the facial defect and treat the neurological iatrogenic syndrome. Autologous fat transfer was primarily used in 10 cases to avoid such complications. It is an easy technique widely used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. This technique gives very satisfying long-term results on the cosmetic as well as on the physiological point of view.

Purpose: This work aims to present a case of retinal vasculitis associated with Parry-Romberg syndrome. Method: A case report is presented. Results: A 17-year-old man with new floaters was found to have 20/40 vision with 1+ vitreous cell and retinal vasculitis in the right eye only. Workup for infectious etiologies did not reveal an explanation for the retinal vasculitis. However, magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed areas of linear band-like atrophy and scarring of the scalp and soft tissues as well as areas of gliosis and encephalomalacia in the subcortical white matter, all of which were consistent with Parry-Romberg syndrome. The patient was prescribed oral steroids and methotrexate, and the retinal vasculitis improved. Conclusions: Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rarely reported cause of retinal vasculitis and should be kept in the differential for retinal vasculitis.

Craniofacial Syndromes

This final article of the two-part craniofacial series continues to provide the embryologic and developmental foundations necessary to understand congenital craniofacial pathology. Clinical characteristics and molecular genetics needed to make an accurate diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan will be detailed for atypical craniofacial clefts, Moebius Syndrome, Fibrous Dysplasia, Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) and Neurofibromatosis. Details of the operations applied in treatment of these disorders are discussed in separate Scientific American: Plastic Surgery (SAPS) articles as referenced. This review contains 3 tables, and 10 figures, and 42 references. Keywords: craniofacial, Tessier cleft, atypical facial cleft, Romberg syndrome, Parry-Romberg syndrome, Moebius syndrome, fibrous dysplasia, McCune Albright syndrome, neurofibromatosis
