  • Title: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with diffuse facial swelling and multiple cranial nerve palsies.
    Author: Khandpur S, Malhotra AK, Khanna N.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 2006 Jun; 33(6):411-4. PubMed ID: 16700832.
    Abstract:
    We report an unusual case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome presenting as diffuse facial swelling with facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve palsies. A skin biopsy revealed non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas throughout the dermis. The disease responded poorly to systemic steroids, antihistamines, antibiotics and potassium iodide.
