Özet

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rarely seen connective tissue disorder and is characterized by chronic inflammation of the face. Anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-extractable nuclear antigens and skin biopsy are helpful for diagnosis. In this study, we determined that the external carotid artery blood flow rate was faster on the affected side than on the unaffected side. We believe that patients suffering from PRS who also have central nervous system symptoms must be examined for vascular structure by Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging or conventional angiography.
