Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is characterised by progressive but self-limiting facial hemiatrophy. We describe a 48-year-old woman with a 3-year history of gradually worsening right facial hemiatrophy on a background of scleroderma. Her initial primary concern was alopecia. Within the last year, there was greater prominence of her right zygoma and hyperpigmentation on her forearms and left neck. She also had worsening headaches and neck stiffness in the mornings. A clinical diagnosis of PRS was made and she was subsequently treated with a course of methotrexate. She is due to be followed up by dermatology, rheumatology and maxillofacial surgery with the aim of reconstructive surgery once her symptoms stabilise.

Background: Alar atrophy associated with Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) can lead to significant nasal contour deformities. The primary objective of this study was to address nasal alar deformities in PRS patients through the application of a nasolabial transfer flap combined with an auricular cartilage graft after sequential fat grafting.
Methods: All PRS patients with alar deformities who underwent our reconstructive surgery were included in this case series.

Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare self-limiting disease, typically occurring in children and young adults, that causes slow progressive atrophy of one-half of the face. It primarily affects the subcutaneous tissue and skin with some cases exhibiting deeper extension to glandular, osseous and muscular structures. Neurologic and ocular involvement is variable.
