Purpose: We describe a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) presenting with panuveitis and retinal vasculitis.Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of our patient's case and related literature published through May 2019.Results: A 26-year-old woman with history of PRS was diagnosed with panuveitis and retinal vasculitis. Intraocular inflammation was controlled with local and systemic corticosteroids. The relationship between PRS and intraocular inflammation is discussed with references to the relevant on literature.Conclusions: Our findings and the accompanying literature review suggest that the patient's ocular involvement included multiple fundus lesions, retinal vascular disorder, and unilateral poliosis - all of which may be attribute to trigeminal neuro vasculitis. As the Varicella-zoster virus may contribute to the onset of the autoimmune processes associated with PRS, this requires further exploration. This report confirms the utility of multimodal imaging in the study, screening, and follow-up of intraocular inflammation in patients with PRS.
