Progressive visual loss in a child with Parry-Romberg syndrome.
Progressive hemifacial atrophy in Parry-Romberg syndrome is associated with a wide variety of ophthalmologic findings. Progressive visual loss, especially in the first decade, is rare in this condition. We present a young girl originally felt to have linear scleroderma and anisometropic amblyopia, who was eventually diagnosed with Parry-Romberg syndrome as the cause of her cutaneous and ophthalmologic findings.
