Comment

Parry Romberg is described as 'incurable' in this article, but this is not strictly true. Although there is no one universally agreed method of treatment, many people are treated with a combination of I. V. Prednisolone steroids and long-term Methotrexate, which can halt or slow the progress of the condition. The condition is recognised as a form of scleroderma, which is perhaps a more useful way of describing (and therefore treating) it.

in this syndrome trigeminal neuralgia and jaksonian epilepsy occurs on contralateral side of the face

Feel free to edit the article with sources then! ;) ---kilbad (talk) 14:08, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
