Fundus changes of Parry-Romberg syndrome: A report of three cases and literature review.

PURPOSE: To report three cases of Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) with progressive hemifacial atrophy and similar fundus changes.

METHODS

Retrospective case series of three patients who presented to the ophthalmology department with blurred vision in one eye. All of them underwent three-dimensional reconstruction of head computed tomography (CT), related physical examinations, and also monthly ocular examinations of both eyes, including the slit-lamp microscope, fundus autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). We also reviewed the current literature about the fundus change in PRS from inception to March 2020 via PubMed.

RESULTS

Coats-like fundus and exudative retinal detachment were found in all three eyes of three patients during the follow-up. No systematic changes were found except for hemifacial atrophy. The final diagnoses of these three patients were PRS.

CONCLUSION

Only a subset of PRS patients have concomitant ocular changes, but it still should be noticed that the diagnosis of PRS should be considered if adults presented with Coats-like retinopathy and hemifacial atrophy.
