Progressive hemifacial atrophy or Parry-Romberg syndrome, is a slowly progressing skin and soft tissue disintegration on either side of the face. It occasionally involves the arm, trunk, and/or leg.

Facial paralysis can result from nerve damage present at birth, trauma, or diseases, such as stroke, brain tumor, or Bell's palsy.
