WHAT IS PARRY ROMBERG SYNDROME?
(continued)

Facial atrophy may cease abruptly or progress slowly and then become stationary, sometimes reactivating later in life. In other cases atrophy progresses indefinitely. In most cases, Parry Romberg Syndrome appears to occur randomly and for unknown reasons.

There is no known cure for Parry Romberg Syndrome, and there are no treatments that can stop the progression of the disorder. Reconstructive surgery may be recommended, generally a year or two after exhaustion of the disease course and completion of facial growth.

The range and severity of symptoms varies from case to case. This description is not meant to substitute for a professional diagnosis. To find a medical professional experienced in diagnosing Parry Romberg Syndrome, please visit ourPhysicians Directory.
