INTRODUCTION Progressive hemifacial atrophy, known as Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), was first described by Parry in 1825. There is a progressive atrophy of facial tissues including skin, bones and muscles. Ophthalmic disorders are common and include keratitis, uveitis, cataract, ipsilateral enophthalmos, optic neuritis, retinal vasculitis and scleral melting. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a p...

progressive hemifacial atrophy, also known as parry-romberg syndrome, is an uncommon degenerative and poorly understood condition. it is characterized by a slow and progressive but self-limited atrophy affecting one side of the face. the incidence and the cause of this alteration are unknown. a cerebral disturbance of fat metabolism has been proposed as a primary cause. possible factors that ar...

BACKGROUND Gyrate atrophy of the retina and choroid is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease, characterized by progressive chorioretinal atrophy that results in progressive deterioration of peripheral and night vision and leading to blindness. CASE PRESENTATION This report presents a case of a 28-year-old man consulting for a progressive fall of visual acuity with hemeralopia. Eye fund...

This report describes an atypical case of pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy, associated with focal progressive peripheral retinal microangiopathy, in a 51-year-old black female. The eyes were asymmetrically involved. Although several cases have been reported with typical features of this uncommon entity, none of them have been known to be associated with retinal microangiopathy. The oc...
