We report two cases of gradual facial hemiatrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome). The first patient, an adolescent girl under treatment for hypothyroidism, presented with a very severe form combining advanced facial hemiatrophy, epilepsy with hemi-generalized seizures and hemiatrophy of the brain. The second patient was a girl who presented with localized scleroderma resembling a saber injury, homolateral cerebral atrophy and contralateral hemiparesis. Our two cases are evidence in support of a close relationship between saber injury-like scleroderma and the Parry-Romberg syndrome.
