title: Progressive facial hemiatrophy with multiple benign tumors and hamartomas.
abstract: We report the unusual association of Progressive Facial Hemiatrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) with multiple benign tumors (orbital neurinoma, mandibular odontogenous fibroma) and hamartomas. The neurological clinical features were infantile hemiplegia, mild mental retardation and focal seizures. Brain CT-scan and MRI showed porencephaly and cerebral calcifications ipsilateral to hemifacial atrophy. Immunological investigations proved negative. The etiology of the disease and the bridging of this case to phakomatoses are discussed.
