Its main clinical sign is progressive facial hemiatrophy including: skin, subcutaneous tissue, nerves, muscle and/or bone.

We present a case: a patient with late presentation Parry Romberg, with right side face atrophy associated with refractory epilepsy and family history of a brother who presents right side face atrophy as well and a marked scleroderma in coup of saber.
