[The Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. Apropos 2 cases]

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is classically defined as facial palsy, oedema facial and plication of the tongue, constituting one rare cause of facial palsy. The primary care physician must include this syndrome in the differential diagnosis of Bell's palsy. We report two cases of this syndrome, one in a young man, another in a 56 aged woman, and also a succinct literature review.
