M J Levenson, M Ingerman, C Grimes

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |August 1, 1984

    Summary

    Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare disorder featuring facial palsy, edema, and tongue groove. This study highlights a family case with complete triad symptoms and gingival changes, suggesting MRS may be more common than previously believed.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and rare diseases
    • Neurology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare neurological disorder.
    • Characterized by facial palsy, facial edema, and lingua plicata (grooved tongue).
    • Often presents with familial aggregation.

    Observation:

    • An index case within a documented MRS family exhibited the complete triad.
    • This case also presented with gingival changes resembling cheilitis granulomatosa.
    • This suggests potential overlap in clinical manifestations.

    Findings:

    • Simultaneous presentation of all MRS triad symptoms in the index case.
    • Identification of gingival changes as a potential additional feature.
    • The findings support a broader spectrum of MRS presentation.

    Implications:

    • MRS may be underdiagnosed due to incomplete or oligosymptomatic forms.
    • Recognizing associated gingival changes could aid in earlier diagnosis.
    • Further research into the genetic and clinical spectrum of MRS is warranted.
