    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare neurological disorder.
    • It is characterized by the triad of facial paralysis, facial edema, and scrotal tongue (lingua plicata).
    • Granulomatous cheilitis is considered a monosymptomatic variant of MRS.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome in a 20-year-old female patient.
    • The case highlights the importance of recognizing both classic and atypical presentations of the syndrome.
    • Early manifestations typically emerge during childhood or adolescence.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome affects males and females equally.
    • The case underscores the diagnostic considerations for facial swelling and neurological deficits.
    • Prompt identification is crucial for appropriate management.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome aids in earlier diagnosis.
    • Recognizing variants like granulomatous cheilitis is essential for comprehensive patient care.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of MRS is warranted.
