Abstract
Key Clinical Message Parry-Romberg syndrome is characterized by progressive dystrophy in one half of the face, which usually begins in childhood. Correct and timely diagnosis of this disease, as well as a multidisciplinary approach and timely surgical treatment to minimize the psychological effects and improve the patient's appearance are of particular importance. Abstract Parry-Romberg syndrome is characterized by progressive dystrophy or loss of subcutaneous tissue in one half of the face, which usually begins in childhood and continues with skin changes, and can also be associated with linear scleroderma. Although this disease has been known for more than 150 years, its exact cause and pathogenesis are not well understood. The clinical feature of Parry-Romberg syndrome that makes it possible to diagnose is unilateral idiopathic facial atrophy. The reported case is a 14-year-old boy who suffered from hemifacial atrophy of the frontal area since he was 7 years old was referred to a plastic and cosmetic surgery specialist and underwent surgery without systemic symptoms and in the inactive phase of the disease. Correct and timely diagnosis of this disease, as well as a multidisciplinary approach and timely and appropriate surgical treatment to minimize the psychological effects and improve the patient's appearance are of particular importance.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164708. [PMID: 36012947 PMCID: PMC9410081 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Autologous fat is ideal soft tissue filler. It is easily accessible, biocompatible, cheap, and it provides both volume augmentation and skin quality improvement. Fat grafting has been used since 1893, but it has only gained widespread popularity since the development of modern liposuction by Colemann and Illouz in the 1980s. Every year more than half a million facial fat grafting procedures are carried out worldwide and the trend is rapidly increasing. Overall, general complications associated with facial fat grafting are assumed to be around 2%. Is that true? Material and Methods: Until July 2021, a systematic search of the literature was performed interrogating PubMed search engines. The following algorithm was used for the research: (fat graft OR lipofilling) AND face AND complications. Exclusion criteria applied hierarchically were review articles, not reporting recipient site complications; not in English and paediatric population. Abstracts were manually screened by LS, GS, JM and PDS separately and subsequently matched for accuracy. Pertinent full-text articles were retrieved and analysed and data were extracted from the database. The flow chart of article selection is described following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Results: In total, 462 papers were identified by PubMed search. A total of 359 were excluded: 38 papers were not in English, 41 were review articles, 279 articles did not report recipient site complications and 1 was not on human subjects. Average complication rate ranged from 1.5% to 81.4%. A total of 298 adverse events were identified: 40 (13.4%) intravascular injections, 13 (4.3%) asymmetry, 57 (19.1%) irregularities, 22 (7.4%) graft hypertrophy, 21 (7%) fat necrosis, 73 (24.5%) prolonged oedema, 1 (0.3%) infection, 6 (2%) prolonged erythema, 15 (5%) telangiectasia and 50 (16.8%) cases of acne activation. Conclusions: FFG related side effects could be resumed in three categories: severe, moderate, and minor. Severe (13.4%) side effects such as intravascular injection or migration require neurological or neurosurgical management and often lead to permanent disability or death. Moderate (38.3%) side effects such as fat hypertrophy, necrosis, cyst formation, irregularities and asymmetries require a retouch operation. Minor (48.3%) side effects such as prolonged oedema or erythema require no surgical management. Despite the fact that the overall general complication rate of facial fat grafting is assumed to be around 2%, the real complication rate of facial fat grafting is unknown due to a lack of reporting and the absence of consensus on side effect definition and identification. More RCTs are necessary to further determine the real complication rate of this procedure.

"Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy: Current Evidence and Future Directions". Plast Reconstr Surg 2022; 150:607-617.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy (PHA) is a rare disorder characterized by gradual unilateral soft tissue atrophy in the face, which may also include clinically significant degeneration of underlying muscle and bone. In recent years, there has been a growing body of evidence regarding different soft-tissue reconstructive strategies in PHA, and the impact of intervention timing on disease progression. This article provides a comprehensive synthesis of the latest evidence in order to guide optimal management. METHODS A comprehensive multi-database search was performed through April 2020 using relevant search terms to identify clinical studies. Outcomes, complications, disease- and patient-related indications pertaining to different soft-tissue reconstructive strategies in PHA were collected and critically appraised. RESULTS 35 articles reporting on a total of 824 PHA patients were evaluated; 503 (61%) were managed by microvascular free flaps, 302 patients (37%) were managed by autologous fat grafts, and 19 (2%) by pedicled flaps. A detailed synthesis of outcomes is presented herein, as well as a comparative evaluation of different microvascular free-flap options. CONCLUSION Soft-tissue reconstruction in PHA remains an evolving field. Operative decision-making is often multifaceted, and guided by specific volumetric, aesthetic and functional deficiencies. Serial fat grafting is the primary modality utilized for patients with mild soft-tissue atrophy, while microvascular free flaps widely remain the treatment of choice for reconstruction of large volume defects. There exists a growing role of graft supplementation to improve fat graft survival, while recent evidence demonstrates that early intervention may help curb disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. Concomitant brain abnormalities have been reported, frequently resulting in epilepsy, but the frequency and spectrum of brain involvement are not well-established. This study aimed to characterize brain abnormalities in Parry-Romberg syndrome and their association with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective review of patients with a clinical diagnosis of Parry-Romberg syndrome and brain MR imaging. The degree of unilateral hemispheric atrophy, white matter disease, microhemorrhage, and leptomeningeal enhancement was graded as none, mild, moderate, or severe. Other abnormalities were qualitatively reported. Findings were considered potentially Parry-Romberg syndrome-related when occurring asymmetrically on the side affected by Parry-Romberg syndrome. RESULTS Of 80 patients, 48 (60%) had brain abnormalities identified on MR imaging, with 26 (32%) having abnormalities localized to the side of the hemifacial atrophy. Sixteen (20%) had epilepsy. MR imaging brain abnormalities were more common in the epilepsy group (100% versus 48%, P < .001) and were more frequently present ipsilateral to the hemifacial atrophy in patients with epilepsy (81% versus 20%, P < .001). Asymmetric white matter disease was the predominant finding in patients with (88%) and without (23%) epilepsy. White matter disease and hemispheric atrophy had a higher frequency and severity in patients with epilepsy (P < .001). Microhemorrhage was also more frequent in the epilepsy group (P = .015). CONCLUSIONS Ipsilateral MR imaging brain abnormalities are common in patients with Parry-Romberg syndrome, with a higher frequency and greater severity in those with epilepsy. The most common findings in both groups are white matter disease and hemispheric atrophy, both presenting with greater severity in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigate the biological characteristics of ADSCs from the liposuction area in patients with hemifacial atrophy in vitro. METHODS ADSCs were respectively extracted from the donor site of patients with hemifacial atrophy and healthy ones. ADSCs of two groups were respectively tested for proliferation ability, phenotype, multipotency, migration ability, self-repair ability, apoptosis, and autophagy. Exosomes extracted from the supernatant of two groups were detected by NTA particle size, electron microscopy (TEM), and WB for CD63 and TSG10, respectively. RESULTS CCK-8 showed a statistically less increase in cell proliferation in PHA-ADSCs after the sixth day. ADSCs in both groups had typical phenotypes and multidirectional abilities. PHA-ADSCs exhibited weaker droplet formation. The cell migration ability in PHA-ADSCs was weaker tested by Transwell assay. The live/dead proportion calculated by ImageJ following calcein-AM/PI double staining revealed live cells in PHA-ADSCs was 46.11% compared with 54.21% in NORM-ADSCs after OGD treatment. A significant down-regulation of ATG7 and ATG12 and a higher percentage of apoptosis were found in PHA-ADSCs. A significant up-regulation of BAX occurred in PHA-ADSCs.ARPC5 expression in the PHA group was extremely distinct down-regulated.CDKN1A and CDKN2A expression in the PHA group was significantly up-regulated.WB analyses confirmed that both groups' ADSCs-Exosomes surface markers CD63 and TSG101 were positively expressed but varied significantly. CONCLUSIONS PHA-ADSCs exhibited a poorer proliferation ability, higher apoptosis percentage, weaker lipid droplets formation, weaker cell migration, poorer intolerance to OGD, aging earlier, and weaker self-renewal and repairability.PHA-ADSCs-Exosomes showed low expressions of CD63 and TSG101.This study provides strong evidence that the addition of exosomes with specific cytokines can improve the fat survival rate after fat filling in patients with hemifacial atrophy.

Abstract
AbstractParry–Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by unilateral facial atrophy affecting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles, and sometimes extending to the osteocartilaginous structures. Ophthalmological and neurological involvements are relatively rare. We present a case of an early onset of left hemifacial atrophy, a progressive severe left ocular impairment, and the presence of a neurological disorder in the left hemisphere of the brain. The neuro-ophthalmological manifestations on the left side include enophthalmos, mild pseudoptosis, moderate asymmetry of the eyebrows, diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, reduced visual acuity, reduced central retinal thickness (162 µm) with the interruption of the ellipsoid zone, and the alteration of the outer nuclear layer, with associated reduced responses in photopic and scotopic amplitudes. The patient reported high intensity left brain white matter and a brief clinical focal seizure. This case report adds to the repertoire spectrum of this rare syndrome. The presentation calls for a multidisciplinary care for patients like our case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Linear scleroderma "en coups de sabre" is a disease that causes scar-like lesions in the forehead and the scalp, and atrophy of the underlying structures. The result is an acute facial asymmetry that can be distressing to affected young adults. Several surgical treatments are available such as free tissue transfer and synthetic fillers. AIMS In this report, we present a rare case of linear scleroderma "en coups de sabre," which was successfully managed with single-stage autologous fat grafting. PATIENTS/METHODS The patient was a 17-year-old male who presented with a soft-tissue defect in the left forehead region. Treatment consisted of transferring autologous fat into the defect in a retrograde fashion, as described by Coleman, and overcorrecting the defect to account for fat resorption. RESULTS At 6 mo postoperatively, the patient had maintained a satisfactory correction of his left forehead and scalp regions with minimal resorption of fat. CONCLUSION Autologous fat grafting provides a safe and easy approach for the treatment of linear scleroderma "en coups de sabre". With minimal manipulation of the aspirated fat, combined with overcorrection of the defect, long-term clinically satisfactory results can be obtained.

Abstract
Morphea and systemic sclerosis are inflammatory, sclerosing disorders. Morphea primarily affects the dermis and subcutaneous fat, while systemic sclerosis typically involves the skin and internal organs. Functional impairment and cosmetic disfigurement are common in both diseases. Treatment options to mitigate disease progression remain limited. Both functional impairment and cosmetic deficits negatively impact quality of life and psychological well-being in this patient population. While the number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States continues to rise each year, limited data exist regarding best practices for correcting aesthetic deficits caused by autoimmune conditions. There is scarce information to guide safety decisions regarding laser parameters, soft tissue augmentation, treatment intervals, and the concurrent use of immune-modifying or immune-suppressing medications. Given the fears of disease reactivation and exacerbation from postprocedural inflammation along with limited data, it is difficult for clinicians to provide evidence-based cosmetic treatment with realistic expectations with regard to short- and long-term outcomes. In the first article in this continuing medical education series, we attempt to address this practice gap.

Abstract
AbstractLipofilling has recently gained popularity as a tool in primary treatment of breast cancer, and its association with two-stage implant breast reconstruction is considered as standard treatment in many centers. However, no data are available about the long-term results of the association of lipofilling in combination with expander-implant reconstruction. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients treated between January 2010 and December 2014. Two groups were compared. Group 1 had a standard expander-implant two-stage reconstruction. Group 2 underwent hybrid breast reconstruction (HBR). Patient characteristics, hospitalization, outcomes, reoperation details, outpatient visits, and evaluation questionnaires were taken into consideration. Intergroup comparison was performed using Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. Two hundred fourteen patients were evaluated: 130 patients in group 1 and 84 patients in group 2. Group 2 showed significant benefits over group 1 in terms of capsular contracture rate, breast pain, and displacement/rotation of the implant (p = 0.005). The HBR protocol is associated with lower rate of capsular contracture, less breast pain at long follow-up times, and lower overall rates of revision surgery compared to standard expander-implant reconstruction. A specific cost analysis will help further clarify the advantages of this protocol over a standard procedure.Level of Evidence: Level III, risk/prognostic, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Parry Romberg Syndrome or Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy is a rare disease usually affecting one side of face with loss of soft and hard tissues. The disease appears suddenly and is usually self-limiting in 2-10 years time. The loss of soft and hard tissue leads to aesthetic and functional deficits which are compounded by the presence of associated symptoms like neuralgia, migraine, epilepsy and ocular involvement. The degree of deformity depends on the age at which the disease manifests first; the younger the age, the more severe the deformity. These patients undergo severe psychological trauma and social problems. The exact etiology is not known, and treatment is largely cosmetic. A report of three cases and a literature review is presented.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome, which is also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a poorly understood rare condition. In this condition, the face shows unilateral, slowly progressive atrophy. Disturbance in fat metabolism, viral infection, trauma, heredity, endocrinal disturbances, and autoimmunity are few possible factors in its pathogenesis. Rarely, only this syndrome progresses and involves one half of the body. Our attempt is to present a case of Parry–Romberg syndrome involving one half of the body, which is a rarity in itself.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) or progressive facial hemiatrophy is a developmental craniofacial disorder of unknown etiology characterized by a slowly progressive unilateral facial atrophy. It is associated with different systemic manifestations particularly, maxillofacial, neurologic and ophthalmologic abnormalities. Dentists must be aware of PRS to identify this invalidating disorder. In this article, we review the etiology, clinical features (especially craniofacial and dental manifestations) and treatment of PRS. We searched in PubMed line using specific words such as PRS from 2008 to 2014 (August). We identify 14 papers have described oral manifestations of this syndrome. We excluded all the article papers that did not indicate to oral manifestations of PRS.

Abstract
Background Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy (PHA) is an acquired, typically unilateral, facial distortion with unknown etiology. The true incidence of this disorder has not been reported, but it is often regarded as a subtype of localized scleroderma. Historically, a debate existed whether PHA is a form of linear scleroderma, called morphea en coup de sabre (ECDS), or whether these conditions are inherently different processes or appear on a spectrum (; Adv Exp Med Biol 455:101–4, 1999; J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 19:403–4, 2005). Currently, it is generally accepted that both diseases exist on a spectrum of localized scleroderma and often coexist. The pathogenesis of PHA has not been delineated, but trauma, autoimmunity, infection, and autonomic dysregulation have all been suggested. The majority of patients have initial manifestations in the first two decades of life; however, late presentations in 6th and 7th decades are also described [J Am Acad Dermatol 56:257–63, 2007; J Postgrad Med 51:135–6, 2005; Neurology 61:674–6, 2003]. The typical course of PHA is slow progression over 2-20 years and eventually reaching quiescence. Systemic associations of PHA are protean, but neurological manifestations of seizures and headaches are common [J Am Acad Dermatol 56:257–63, 2007; Neurology 48:1013–8, 1997; Semin Arthritis Rheum 43:335–47, 2013]. As in many rare diseases, standard guidelines for imaging, treatment, and follow-up are not defined. Methods This review is based on a literature search using PubMed including original articles, reviews, cases and clinical guidelines. The search terms were “idiopathic hemifacial atrophy”, “Parry-Romberg syndrome”, “Romberg’s syndrome”, “progressive hemifacial atrophy”, “progressive facial hemiatrophy”, “juvenile localized scleroderma”, “linear scleroderma”, and “morphea en coup de sabre”. The goal of this review is to summarize clinical findings, theories of pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical course, and proposed treatments of progressive hemifacial atrophy using a detailed review of literature. Inclusion- and exclusion criteria Review articles were used to identify primary papers of interest while retrospective cohort studies, case series, case reports, and treatment analyses in the English language literature or available translations of international literature were included.

Abstract
Progressive hemifacial atrophy, also known as Parry-Romberg syndrome, is a slowly advancing degenerative disease that mostly affects the cutaneous, subcutaneous fatty tissue, muscle tissue, and bone structures on one side of the face. We describe the chronological progression of this very rare syndrome from early childhood until adulthood in a patient who developed severe atrophy and lost one eye. We also discuss the aetiology and pathophysiology of this syndrome.

Abstract
Introduction: Facial contour deformities presents with varied aetiology and degrees severity. Accurate assessment, selecting a suitable tissue and sculpturing it to fill the defect is challenging and largely subjective. Objective assessment with imaging and software is not always feasible and preparing a template is complicated. A three-dimensional (3D) wax template pre-fabricated over the facial moulage aids surgeons to fulfil these tasks. Severe deformities demand a stable vascular tissue for an acceptable outcome. Materials and Methods: We present review of eight consecutive patients who underwent augmentation of facial contour defects with free flaps between June 2005 and January 2011. De-epithelialised free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap in three, radial artery forearm flap and fibula osteocutaneous flap in two each and groin flap was used in one patient. A 3D wax template was fabricated by augmenting the deformity on facial moulage. It was utilised to select the flap, to determine the exact dimensions and to sculpture intraoperatively. Ancillary procedures such as genioplasty, rhinoplasty and coloboma correction were performed. Results: The average age at the presentation was 25 years and average disease free interval was 5.5 years and all flaps survived. Mean follow-up period was 21.75 months. The correction was aesthetically acceptable and was maintained without any recurrence or atrophy. Conclusion: The 3D wax template on facial moulage is simple, inexpensive and precise objective tool. It provides accurate guide for the planning and execution of the flap reconstruction. The selection of the flap is based on the type and extent of the defect. Superiority of vascularised free tissue is well-known and the ALT flap offers a versatile option for correcting varying degrees of the deformities. Ancillary procedures improve the overall aesthetic outcomes and minor flap touch-up procedures are generally required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The regenerative effects of fat injections are based on the same hormones, growth factors, and stem cells that stimulate neoplastic angiogenesis and cancer progression in basic research. Few studies have analyzed the oncologic risk. No report has covered 5 years of oncologic surveillance, and no long-term risk has been estimated. The in vivo relationship between lipofilling and breast cancer remains unclear and controversial. This observational study focused on locoregional recurrence (LR) risk after lipofilling. METHODS The study enrolled 60 patients after breast cancer surgery (total mastectomy) from 2000 to 2007 treated by lipofilling (82 single-surgeon procedures with the same fat-decanting technique). The study ended when follow-up observation reached 10 years. RESULTS The study included invasive carcinoma (55 cases), in situ carcinoma (five cases), T1 (71.6 %) and T2 (23.3 %) carcinoma, N+ carcinoma (45 %), and stages 1 (43.3 %) and 2 (45 %) carcinoma. The overall 12-year incidence of LR was 5 % (1.6 % before and 3.3 % after lipofilling). The incidence of local relapse per 100 person-years was 0.36 in the first observation period and 0.43 after lipofilling. All LRs were stage 2, and the same rate, limited to stage 2, was 1.04. The crude cumulative incidence after lipofilling was 7.25 % (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0-15.4 %) for LR and 7.6 % (95 % CI, 0.2-15 %) for distant metastases. DISCUSSION Clinical data and recurrence incidences were compared with those of prior publications concerning lipofilling oncologic risk and discussed in relation to the inherent cancer literature. CONCLUSIONS Lipofilling may be used safely to treat tumor node metastasis stage 1 subjects after mastectomy. The local risk is low. For stage 2 patients, local failure was not significantly higher. Compared with institutional data and prior publications, the risk still is reliable. Breast conservative treatment must be investigated further because of the high risk for local relapse.

Abstract
Progressive hemifacial atrophy, also known as Parry-Romberg Syndrome, is an uncommon degenerative and poorly understood condition. It is characterized by a slow and progressive atrophy affecting one side of the face. The incidence and the cause of this alteration are unknown. A cerebral disturbance of fat metabolism has been proposed as a primary cause. This can be result of a trophic malformation of cerebral sympathetic nervous system. Possible factors that are involved in the pathogenesis are trauma, viral infections, heredity, endocrine disturbances, and autoimmunity, among others. Characteristically, atrophy progresses slowly for several years and, soon after, it become stable. The purpose of this work is, through the presentation of a clinical case, to accomplish a literature review concerning general characteristics, etiology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment of progressive hemifacial atrophy.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a rare disorder characterized by unilateral facial atrophy affecting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and sometimes extending to the osteocartilaginous structures. It has been associated with various systemic manifestations, particularly neurologic, ophthalmologic and maxillofacial. In this article, we review Parry-Romberg syndrome with its associated findings (neurologic, ophthalmologic, cardiac, rheumatologic, endocrinologic, infectious, orthodontic and maxillofacial, and autoimmune), underlying cause, differential diagnoses (en coup de sabre, scleroderma, and Rasmussen encephalitis), and therapeutic options.

Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a relatively rare degenerative disorder that is poorly understood. PRS is characterized by slowly progressing atrophy affecting one side of the face, and is frequently associated with localized scleroderma, especially linear scleroderma, which is known as en coup de sabre. This is a report of the author's experiences with PRS accompanying en coup de sabre, and a review of the ongoing considerable debate associated with these two entities. Case 1 was a 37-year-old woman who had right hemifacial atrophy with unilateral en coup de sabre for seven years. Fat grafting to her atrophic lip had been conducted, and steroid injection had been performed on the indurated plaque of the forehead. Case 2 was a 29-year-old woman who had suffered from right hemifacial atrophy and bilateral en coup de sabre for 18 years. Surgical corrections such as scapular osteocutaneous flap and mandible/maxilla distraction showed unsatisfying results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to present a rare entity of Parry-Romberg syndrome. This poorly understood degenerative condition is characterised by atrophic changes affecting one side of the face. The cause of these changes remains obscure. METHODS The authors report one rare case of a 31 year old female patient with Parry-Romberg syndrome, accompanied by a brief review of literature. RESULTS Clinical examination of the patient revealed evident facial asymmetry, malar hypoplasia, atrophy of skin and other tissues on the left side, hyperpigmentation of skin on the left side of the face. Final diagnosis of a Parry-Romberg syndrome ("progressive hemifacial atrophy") was based on thorough clinical and a radiological examination. Treatment using alloplastic implants to improve facial disfigurement was suggested to the patient. CONCLUSIONS In most cases, Parry-Romberg syndrome appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons. The pathophysiology of the syndrome remains unknown. There is no definitive treatment for this condition but an attempt to use restorative plastic surgery which includes fat or silicone implants, flap/pedicle grafts, or bone implants can be done to improve facial disfigurement.

Abstract
Progressive hemifacial atrophy or Parry-Romberg syndrome is an uncommon degenerative and poorly understood condition characterized by progressive atrophy of 1 side of the face. It may involve several layers of tissue manifesting itself in a more or less aggressive form (mild, moderate, and severe). Generally, the restoration of contour and symmetry are the goals of the therapy in patients affected by this syndrome. In this article, we present the technique and the 6-year postsurgery result of a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome treated with 1-stage anterior lifting, removal of superficial muscular aponeurotic system, and autologous fat transplantation because the patient requested to recover more than atrophy and also 20 years of lost youth.

Abstract
Objective.There is little information regarding surgical options and outcomes in patients with facial localized scleroderma. We evaluated the surgical outcomes of procedures performed for linear scleroderma of the face in the pediatric age group; and assessed psychosocial effects of surgical interventions on the affected children.Methods.A retrospective chart review was performed of children with en coup de sabre scleroderma (ECDS) and Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) who underwent surgical intervention; this included demographic data, clinical features, and type of surgical interventions. A questionnaire of 13 questions covering 4 domains (physical, emotional, social, and symptoms) was sent to patients who consented to take part in the survey. Surgical treatments and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.Results.Seventeen patients underwent surgical intervention (autologous fat injections, Medpor implants, bone paste cranioplasty, and free groin flap) to correct facial asymmetry. Ten patients answered the questionnaire (58.8% response rate). Unhappiness with their appearance, loss of confidence, and bullying were cited as reasons for surgery. The appearance subscale of the survey demonstrated the lowest standardized scores and greatest negative effect on the patients’ quality of life compared to the 3 other subscales. All subjects would consider another surgery and would recommend surgery to other patients with ECDS and PRS.Conclusion.Surgical treatment is a potential useful intervention in children with facial disfigurement. Prospective data are needed.

Abstract
Progressive facial hemiatrophy (PFH) was first described by Parry in 1825 and later by Romberg in 1846 and was also known as Parry-Romberg syndrome. Progressive facial hemiatrophy, as the name suggests, usually has unilateral presentation. However, bilateral manifestation has been reported in 5-10% of the cases. It is a rare disorder with few cases reported. Treatment involves augmentation of the atrophic region and restoration of symmetry of the face. Because many tissues are needed, it is very difficult to treat. In this article we report the use of a superficial temporal fascial flap plus lipofilling to treat bilateral progressive facial hemiatrophy. We obtained good facial volume, smooth contour, and soft palpation. It is safer, simple to perform, and more cost effective than free tissue transfer. It is a suitable technique of choice in the treatment of bilateral progressive facial hemiatrophy.

Abstract
We present a 30-year-old South Indian man who presented with complaints of left sided headache and facial pain for past 3 months, severe for past 10 days. On physical examination, right side of the face appeared normal. Left side of the face showed signs of hemi atrophy with minimal drooping of left eyelid. All Systems were found to be normal. Routine blood and urine investigations results were within normal limits. X-ray chest revealed no abnormalities and x-ray skull showed both sides equal. Computerized tomogram of the brain showed left minimal sub dural hygroma with no midline shift, and no evidence of cerebral edema or cerebral atrophy. Nerve conduction study showed features suggestive of trigeminal neuralgia. MRI of the skull base was also normal and showed no evidence of trigeminal nerve compression. Interestingly, he had minimal response to analgesics, steroids, and propranolol, but showed immediate response to carbamazepine. Hence this patient indeed had Parry Romberg syndrome: Hemi facial atrophy with trigeminal neuralgia.

Abstract
Enophthalmos is a relatively frequent and misdiagnosed clinical sign in orbital diseases. The knowledge of the different etiologies of enophthalmos and its adequate management are important, because in some cases, it could be the first sign revealing a life-threatening disease. This article provides a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of enophthalmos. The main etiologies, such as trauma, chronic maxillary atelectasis (silent sinus syndrome), breast cancer metastasis, and orbital varix, will be discussed. Its objective is to enable the reader to recognize, assess, and treat the spectrum of disorders causing enophthalmos.

Abstract
The authors report the case of a 45-years-old female patient, with progressive hemiatrophy of the left face and tongue. The laboratorial and image studies were normal, including routine blood exams, cerebral-spinal fluid, hepatic function tests, renal and rheumatic; besides X ray, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance of skull. The electroneuromyography showed peripheral neurogenic alterations of motor trigeminal and hypoglossal nerves, markedly on the left side. Those findings are compatible with Romberg's facial hemiatrophy diagnosis, motivating discussion of several aspects of this rare disease according to the account and literature.
