Abstract
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder associated with unilateral facial atrophy involving skin, subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscle, and bone. Occasionally, there is CNS involvement with epilepsy being the most common CNS manifestation. The authors report a child with Parry-Romberg syndrome with a course strongly suggestive of Rasmussen encephalitis. The boy underwent hemispherectomy, and pathology showed the typical findings of Rasmussen encephalitis, suggesting that these two conditions may share common etiologic factors.
