Parry-Romberg syndrome is a neurocutaneous disorder with a not well-established etiology characterized by progressive facial hemiatrophy related to other neurological disorders such as epilepsy, migraine and trigeminal neuralgia. Clinical and radiological features of this syndrome are well known, but are still an unusual and unknown disease; therefore it is diagnosed late leading to an inadequate care and misinformation to patients. This paper report the case of a middle aged woman with progressive facial hemiatrophy since seven years old associated with migraine and facial neuropathic pain, classical complications of this disease. Since diagnosis was made many years after de onset of symptoms, she received the proper treatment of her ophthalmologic and neurological disorders late.

Keywords : Facial Hemiatrophy; Neurocutaneous Syndrome.
