Abstract

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a clinical entity consisting of progressive hemifacial atrophy appearing at a young age. Animal studies indicate that sympathectomy can produce hemifacial atrophy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with a possible association between Parry-Romberg syndrome and thoracoscopic sympathectomy.
