| description | Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is seen rarely with unknown etiology. In the otolaryngology literature there were few articles about this syndrome. Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is classically described as a triad of recurrent orofacial edema, recurrent facial palsy and fissured tongue (lingua plicata). However this classic triad would not be seen in every case. In our report two patients are presented. First patient has classic triad of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome and the second patient has oligosymptomatic form of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with peripheral facial palsy and fissured tongue. Although, we also make differential diagnosis of this sydrome with other condition that can make orofacial edema, facial palsy and fissured tongue. |
