Reflex seizures in Parry–Romberg Syndrome: 2 Case Reports

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is an infrequent, acquired disorder characterized by progressive hemiatrophy of the skin and soft tissue of the face [1]. PRS typically presents in children and young adults and slowly progresses over a highly variable course ranging from two to 20 years, eventually reaching a “burn-out phase” and stabilizing for no known reason. [1] Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is frequent among PRS patients, of which epilepsy is the most common cerebral manifestation. Reflex epilepsies (RE) are epileptic events precipitated by external stimuli, internal mental processes, or both.
