Abstract:
It is very difficult to differentiate Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrom and macrochelitis granulomatosa. Two neurologists: Ernt Melkersson and Curt Rosenthal in 1928 and 1931 described classical symptoms of this syndrom: recurring facial paralysis, swelling of the face and lips and the development of folds and furrows in the tongue. In 1945 Miescher described a few cases of primary interstitial inflammation of the lips and gave them the name macrochelitis granulomatosa. Some patients had paralysis of the facial nerve, others folds of the tongue. In the present study the etiopatho-genesis, diagnostic and therapeutic problems are presented.
