Abstract

Parry-Romberg syndrome is characterized by a limited progressive hemifacial atrophy. For young patients, the surgeon has to deal with two tendencies: the patient's growth and the course of the syndrome. When managing such an unpredictable disease, the surgeon has to make a guess about the future course of the structural movements. We reviewed our experience and analyzed the different surgical possibilities for reconstructive surgery for Parry-Romberg syndrome.
