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.
