BACKGROUND: A variety of infectious and @entity792 are described in association with @entity36898 . To our knowledge there is only one report on @entity36898 associated with hemiatrophia faciei. We describe another @entity1 with this rare association. The aim is to investigate possible associations between both diseases. @entity1 : A twenty five-year-old male @entity1 with hemiatrophia faciei, @entity302 and @entity735 since his twelfth birthday was presented for the first time at the age of fourteen at our institution. The @entity1 underwent a complete neurological and paediatric as well as otolaryngological investigation; there was also an investigation by the internist. The @entity1 also underwent a complete serological investigation for infectious and @entity792 as well as an investigation of the local and systemic vascular reactivity by the "Ocular cold pressor test". The follow-up time is 11 years. RESULTS: The clinical picture of our @entity1 was an association of hemiatrophia faciei, @entity302 and @entity36898 . There was no evidence of a local hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The serological investigation showed an elevated value of antinuclear antibodies. CONCLUSIONS: We assume that in our case the @entity36898 as well as the hemiatrophia faciei and the @entity302 is caused by a common autoimmune factor. All other aetiologies for these three diseases were excluded. Furthermore, the occurrence of @entity36898 , hemiatrophia faciei and @entity302 was simultaneous.
