Parry-Romberg's syndrome or progressive hemifacial atrophy, Romberg's disease, or facial trophoneurosis as it is also called, was described by Parry in 1925 and by Romberg in 1926. It is considered an uncommon craniofacial malformation in the daily practice and at early ages, since it is a progressive disease that usually appears in adolescence. It is characterized by the atrophy of the fatty tissue (cellular subcutaneous), skin, facial muscles and in some cases the bones and cartilages of a side of the face may be affected. Its evolution lasts from 2 to 12 years, but it may stop at any time. Its early diagnosis, as well as an adequate treatment plan are important and they should be made by a multidisciplinary team to achieve a good functional and psychological development and the establishment of a good relation of occlusion that improves the facial harmony and increases the quality of life of these patients. The objective of this paper is to show a case that has been treated by the multidisciplinary team of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Pediatric Hospital of Centro Habana.Downloads
