ABSTRACT

Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology, whose main features are recurrent oro-facial edema, peripheral recurrent facial paralysis, and lingua plicata. Sarcoid non-caseating granulomas are the main histological feature. We present herein a typical case of this syndrome in a 37 year-old man, we propose a therapeutical possibility, rise some hypothesis in connection with its nosological position. Which are the real relationships with other granulomatous gastrointestinal conditions?
