    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2000 Mar; 23(3):261-4. PubMed ID: 10740053.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To inform ophthalmologists about the Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome. A new clinical classification is suggested. METHODS: Commented observation and review of the litterature. RESULTS: The presented case is characterized by an exclusive involvement of orbital sphere, due to inflammation of palpebral and orbital fat. CONCLUSION: Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome can be divided into type 1 characterized by perioral lesions and type 2 characterized by periocular lesions, with preferential involvement of fat and evolution towards fibrosis.
