Parry-Romberg syndrome: an unusual case of lagophthalmus and exposure keratopathy

Abstract

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a poorly understood degenerative disease characterized by atrophy affecting one side of the face. In this report, we describe a patient with PRS associated with exposure keratopathy and corneal ulceration as a result of lagophthalmos. The clinical findings and staged composite reconstruction are described.
