[Treatment of facial lesions in Parry-Romberg and Barraquer-Simons syndromes: report of 12 clinical cases].

Abstract

The authors report their personal experience in surgical treatment of facial atrophies. The series present two types of facial atrophy: Parry-Romberg syndrome and Barraquer-Simons syndrome. After reviewing the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical features of these two entities, the authors describe their series of 12 patients: six presenting Parry-Romberg unilateral facial atrophy, six presenting from Barraquer-Simons bilateral facial atrophy. After a review of the literature, they draw conclusions about surgical repair techniques used (free or pedicled flaps, alloplastic grafts, lipofilling) and compare them with those reported in the literature.
