I noticed this was on page 8, with no replies.
Perhaps no one knew what it was.

Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy: Article Excerpts about Parry Romberg Syndrome

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by atrophy (wasting away) of the tissue on one side of the face.

The atrophy may also affect the tongue, soft palate, and mucous membranes of the gums.
Muscle and bones are rarely affected.


A search on LymeNet turned up only one post:
Topic: Parry-Romberg syndrome associated with borreliosis
http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=051260#000000

I googled for Hemifacial atrophy, lyme and found many hits.
