La patiente Mary Poppins (de toute évidence un nom fictif) a été suivie et traitée pendant plus de 10 ans par plusieurs collègues, dont des dentistes, des médecins de famille, des neurologues et des dermatologues. Her brief story is as follows:
La patiente Mary Poppins (de toute évidence un nom fictif) a été suivie et traitée pendant plus de 10 ans par plusieurs collègues, dont des dentistes, des médecins de famille, des neurologues et des dermatologues. Sa brève histoire est la suivante :
*the woman first noticed small patches of abnormal pigmentation on the right side of her face at the age of 40 (she was now 50). <br>On her admission to a dermatological division, a skin biopsy was performed, and it was consistent with the diagnosis of localized scleroderma of the face ('''morphea''');<br>corticosteroids were prescribed.

*At the age of 44, she began to have involuntary contractions of the right masseter and temporal muscles; the contractions increased in duration and frequency over the years. The spasmodic contractions were referred to by the patient as both day and night lock.<br>At her first neurological evaluation, dyschromia was less evident. Still, her face was asymmetrical due to a slight indentation of the right cheek and marked hypertrophy of the masseter and right temporal muscles. <br>The diagnoses were varied, due to the limitation of the medical language as we will see below.
