Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome: Case Reports

Abstract

Melkersson Rosenthal Syndrome is a neuro-mucocutaneous granulomatous disease, characterized by recurrent facial nerve paralysis, orofacial edema and fissured tongue. The cause of Melkersson Rosenthall Syndrome is unknown, but genetic and acquired factors may play a role. This syndrome is very rare in childhood, it is more frequently seen in the second and the third decades of life. Classical triad of this syndrome is very rarely seen. MRS usually occurs as monosymptomatic or oligosymptomatic involment. The presence of two or one of the manifestations with granulomatous cheilitis in the biopsy is sufficient to make the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome. Treatment is symptomatic and may include medical therapies such as nonsteroid anti-inflamatory drugs, steroids and antibiotics. Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome should be considered in differential diagnosis of recurrent facial paralysis. Here, we present two girls with classical triad of Melkersson Rosenthall Syndrome.
