title: [Facial hemiatrophy with monolateral fibrosis of all extraocular muscles].
abstract: Cases of facial hemiatrophy manifest a variety of symptoms of monolateral atrophic processes of the skin, muscles, and bones. The symptoms are usually progressive and may also involve the ocular bulb and the orbit. In this paper the authors report the case of a 53-year-old woman with congenital fibrosis of all extraocular muscles and restricted motility of the enophthalmic bulb in all directions of gaze. Since, in addition, the ipsilateral side of the face is affected by discrete atrophy, this case has been classified as congenital, nonprogressive facial hemiatrophy. The findings are compared with those in other published cases.
