  • Case of progressive facial hemiatrophy with cervical sympathetic hyperactivity as underlying aetiology

  • H Monobe, K Miyano, R Kagoya, H Tojima
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 126 / Issue 7 / July 2012
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    15 June 2012, pp. 725-728
    Print publication:
    July 2012
  • Objective:

    We report a case of progressive facial hemiatrophy with cervical sympathetic hyperactivity as a possible underlying aetiology, based on clinical findings, three-dimensional computed tomography and thermographic imaging.

    Methods:

    We present a case report in which we describe the investigation and clinical course of progressive facial hemiatrophy, and we also review the world literature on this condition.

    Results:

    To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of progressive facial hemiatrophy with cervical sympathetic hyperactivity indicated as a possible underlying aetiology, based on clinical findings, three-dimensional computed tomography and thermographic imaging.

    Conclusion:

    This syndrome may lead to atrophy of the subcutaneous adipose tissue with hyperfunction of the vegetative system. Although this is a rare syndrome, otolaryngologists should be aware of its symptoms, aetiology and treatment.
