Summary
The first published reports on progressive facial hemiatrophy were attributed to Parry in 1825 and Romberg in 1846 [1]. It is generally limited to half of the face but may affects the arm and trunk [2]. This syndrome is characterized by atrophy of the subcutaneous and adipose tissue of the hemiface. It is a rare disease with clinical and psychological sequelae, especially if appearing at a very young age [3-7]. Many authors have attempted to establish its various clinical manifestations, such as dermatological and ophthalmological, as well as its fairly frequent associations with neurological and endocrine diseases. Progressive hemifacial atrophy is a rare disorder with skeletal and soft tissue changes in the affected half of the face
