Abstract: The authors report two cases of progressive facial hemiatrophy (PFH) associated with cranial nerves hyperexcitability. One of them (Case 1), a 41-year-old-woman noticed a slight atrophy on the left side of her face at age of ten. For the last three months, she has been suffering from fits of neuralgic pains on the left side of her face which have not ceased by drug treatment In view of this, a surgery procedure was planned for the patient.

“…Caracteriza-se por atrofia progressiva de uma das hemifaces, com alteração da pele, tecido subcutâneo, tecido muscular, cartilagem e até osso. Geralmente acomete um lado da face, mas pode estender-se para o hemicorpo ipsilateral, inclusive com envolvimento cerebral, podendo o portador apresentar crises convulsivas (1) , malformações vasculares intracranianas (11) , alterações nos nervos cranianos, além de envolvimento do sistema nervoso periférico e autônomo (12) . O comprometimento ocular ocorre em 10 a 15% dos portadores, incluindo enoftalmo progressivo, atrofia palpebral, ulceração corneana, heterocromia de íris, irite, iridociclite, coroidite, estrabismo restritivo, paralisia do nervo oculomotor, catarata, alterações pupilares, papilite e vasculite retiniana (1,(13)(14) .…”
