    Author: Pierre-Filho Pde T, Rocha EM, Natalino R, Cintra ML, Caldato R.
    Journal: Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 2004 Aug; 32(4):439-40. PubMed ID: 15281985.
    Abstract:
    Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is an uncommon disorder of uncertain aetiology characterized by orofacial oedema, facial nerve palsy and lingua plicata. The triad is seldom seen in its complete form, and oligo-symptomatic or mono-symptomatic forms are more common. An unusual case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome involving the left upper eyelid is presented. The pathology, clinical features and management of this disorder are discussed.
