Abstract

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disease characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. We present the case of a 14-year-old, a known case of linear morphea, who presented with seizure and on evaluation was diagnosed with Parry-Romberg syndrome. It causes a profound impact on aesthetic well-being and has a significant psychosocial morbidity. This case report aims to highlight the effective multidisciplinary team approach involving a rheumatologist, dermatologist, neurologist, and ophthalmologist which ultimately culminated in the meticulous management of the disease in our patient.
