Parry Romberg syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder of unknown etiology characterized by facial hemiatrophy of fat, skin, connective tissue and MRI changes in the brain. Here we report a 30 years old woman who presented with facial hemiatrophy, headache and facial pain, hemi-masticatory spasm, atrophy of tongue, temporal hemianopia and hyperintense lesions on MRI.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(3) 2015 p.308-309

Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. Therapeutic options include high-dose corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs. We present a typical eosinophilic fasciitis case, which did not respond to first-line treatment, but improved remarkably after infliximab administration. This report demonstrates that in case of initial treatment failure, infliximab might be a relatively safe and effective way of eosinophilic fasciitis management.

Nasal Blockage

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology which principally affects the lower respiratory tract & lungs. Sarcoidosis in the head & neck region is infrequent. Isolated sino nasal sarcoidosis without pulmonary involvement is rare.Case: An 18 years old male patient presented with the complaints of nasal blockage, purulent nasal discharge which was occasionally blood stained for 6 months, deformity of nose, swelling of face & lips for 4 months & watering of eyes for same duration. Endoscopy of nose revealed intra nasal mucosal thickening which was friable & bleeds on touch. The diagnosis of sino nasal sarcoidosis was made by histopathological examination of nasal biopsy specimen.Conclusion: Sino nasal sarcoidosis is a disease of diagnostic challenge to the clinician as its mimicking clinical features may be misleading & cause delay in definitive diagnosis. In the current case report, we presented a case of sino nasal sarcoidosis presenting as chronic rhino sinusitis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.648-650

Gingival Enlargement

Plasma cell gingivitis is a benign lesion of unknown etiology characterized by massive infiltration of plasma cells into the connective tissue of the gingiva. Clinically it presents as a gingival enlargement with erythema and some areas with the presence of desquamation, it is usually asymptomatic, but on some occasions the patient may present pain and gingival bleeding. Diagnosis requires clinical-pathological correlation. Based on the foregoing, we present a case report of a 25-year-old female patient diagnosed with plasma cell gingivitis with idiopathic etiology based on the clinical and histopathological study.

Purpose To describe further findings in the Parry-Romberg syndrome that might contribute towards a better understanding of the disease. Design Case report. Methods The clinical history of a patient with the Parry-Romberg syndrome was studied, and fluorangiography and echography were carried out. Results Clinical observation revealed classic hemifacial atrophy; fluorescein angiography showed teleangectases, light staining of the retina, and leakage from the largest teleangectasis and the optic disc vessels; echography showed shrinkage of the eyeball and thinning of the extraocular muscles. Conclusions Enophthalmos in this disease is caused not only by progressive fat atrophy but also by shrinkage of the eyeball and thinning of the extraocular muscles; the shrinkage of the eyeball helps explain the presence of choroidal and retinal folding and hyperopia, confirming the primary involvement of connective tissue in this disease.

Four birds in a flock of 125 purebred Crested ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos f. dom.) had cerebellar signs of unknown etiology. They had radiographically evident perforations of various sizes in the parietooccipital calvaria. Gross necropsy of euthanatized ducks revealed yellow intracranial masses in the brain of each. Histologically, these masses were intracranial lipomas consisting of univacuolated fatty tissue separated into lobules by strands of connective tissue. The masses had caused serious deformation of the rostral part of the cerebellum, leading to a nearly complete flattening of cerebellar folia, and were interpreted as the cause for the central nervous clinical signs observed. These intracranial lipomas were similar to those previously reported in other animals and humans.

This case report describes a 46-year-old female with a history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome status post-parathyroidectomy, thymectomy via robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and pituitary adenoma resection presenting with parasympathetic hyperactivity and Parry–Romberg syndrome. Parry–Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder that manifests as facial hemiatrophy. Reported symptoms include cognitive dysfunction, olfactory hallucinations, and parasympathetic hyperactivity: miosis of the right eye, anhidrosis, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, and orthostatic hypotension. Previous reports have noted associations between Parry–Romberg syndrome and sympathetic hyperactivity and dysregulation. This case report focuses on an association between Parry–Romberg syndrome and unopposed parasympathetic activity.

AbstractSchwannomas are the fourth most common primary neoplasms affecting the brain and cranial nerves. Central lesions commonly arise from sensory nerve roots, and a common intracranial site is the vestibular branch of the 8th nerve (>85%). We present the case report of a patient who has a schwannoma extending from the pterygopalatine fossa to the orbit, complaining about facial pain in the trajectory of the trigeminal ophthalmic branch. Schwannomas represent 1 to 2% of all neoplasms of the orbit, and trigeminal schwannomas are extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of all intracranial tumors.

Facial Hemiatrophy

Introduction: The Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a mosaic disease of unknown aetiology which mostly affects women. The facial hemiatrophy generally begins during the early childhood. It has a great impact on social life, and aesthetic rehabilitation is a major challenge. Observation: A 38 years-old-female patient presented with an enucleation of the left eye, due to multiple hamartomas and progressive facial hemiatrophy. The placement of 2 extraoral implants was proposed to bear an ocular epithesis. Comments: PRS develops between the 2nd and 20th year of life, and stabilizes at the adult age. Its main characteristic is a progressive facial hemiatrophy, which involves skin, fat tissues, muscles and osteocartilaginous tissues. 20% of patients have neurological symptoms, and epilepsy is often described as a side effect of the disease. Conclusion: Diagnosis of localized scleroderma has to be eliminated, as these 2 entities are very similar. Major facial reconstructive surgery is often proposed to restore aesthetics.

Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disease with angiolymphatic proliferation of unknown etiology predominantly seen among young Asian males. It classically shows a triad of non-tender subcutaneous masses predominantly in head and neck region with tissue and blood eosinophilia and raised serum IgE level. Here we present a case report of a 24 years male with bilateral pre-auricular and post-auricular swelling for 6 years. The diagnosis of Kimura disease was made on the basis of clinical and histopathological examination.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(1) 2018 p.152-154
