- Abstract
We describe a patient with localized scleroderma in association with homolateral atrophy of the tongue and marked ipsilateral facial hemiatrophy which was confirmed histologically. CT scan coronal sections of the face showed severe atrophy of the tongue and facial muscles. The EMG studies failed to demonstrate a neurogenic or myogenic process.
