Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), also known as progressive facial hemiatrophy (PFH), is a rare progressive craniofacial disorder (phakomatosis).
It is classically characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration (atrophy) of the soft tissues of half of the face (hemifacial atrophy). This involves the skin, underlying soft tissues, cartilaginous structures and bone.
