A rare cause of bilateral and recurrent facial palsy: Melkersson-Rosenthal sendromu
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 42, Issue 1
Abstract
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is a granulomatous disease which is characterized by the triad of recurrent peripheral facial palsy, orofacial edema, and fissured tongue. In this article we presented one case who, since childhood, had had peripheral paralysis attack twice on the left side and once in the right side and was diagnosed with idiopathic paralysis before being admitted to our clinic for the second time with the preliminary diagnosis of peripheral facial paralysis on the right side and then diagnosed and followed up with the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS). We presented this case since the facial paralysis recurred on the different side and in different times and also since it remained resistant to treatment of steroids and it is seen rarely in adolescence. However, further clinic-pathological studies are required to investigate the etiology and find right treatment procedures for this syndrome. Key words: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, facial paralysis, fissured tongue
