ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Parry Romberg es un trastorno neurocutáneo de etiología no bien establecida. Se presenta como hemiatrofia facial progresiva y puede asociarse a otras alteraciones neurológicas como: epilepsia, migraña y neuralgia del trigémino. Las características clínicas y radiológicas de este síndrome son bien conocidas, sin embargo debido a que es una enfermedad infrecuente y muchas veces desconocida, su diagnóstico generalmente es tardío, lo que lleva a una inadecuada atención e información a quienes la padecen. Se presenta un caso de una paciente de mediana edad que cursó con hemiatrofia facial progresiva desde la edad de 7 años asociada a migraña y dolor facial de tipo neuropático, en quien se realizó diagnóstico tardío.


Parry-Romberg syndrome is a neurocutaneous disorder with a not well-established etiology characterized by progressive facial hemiatrophy related to other neurological disorders such as epilepsy, migraine and trigeminal neuralgia. Clinical and radiological features of this syndrome are well known, but are still an unusual and unknown disease; therefore it is diagnosed late leading to an inadequate care and misinformation to patients. This paper report the case of a middle aged woman with progressive facial hemiatrophy since seven years old associated with migraine and facial neuropathic pain, classical complications of this disease. Since diagnosis was made many years after de onset of symptoms, she received the proper treatment of her ophthalmologic and neurological disorders late.
