Introduction:
z
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare, noncaseating
granulomatous diseasez Classic triad: orofacial edema, facial paralysis, lingua plicata (scrotal, fissure or furrowed tongue)
z Etiology: unknown
z Possible cause:infectious disease, genetic ,allergy and benign lymphologranulomatosis
z Histopathological feature: lymphoedema, noncaseating epitheloid cell
granulomas, multinucleated Langhans-type giant cell, perivascular mononuclear inflammatory infiltration, and fibrosis
z Propose of study: current diagnosis, Dr.’s attention
Materials and methods
Retrospective review of p’t database
Results
3 patients were found Patient 1 : 44y/o female
clinical feature
Recurrent right peripheric facial paralysis (PFP), House-Brackmann grade 6 Swollen upper and lower lip, furrowed tongue

Histiopathology feature (upper lip)
Lymphocytic infiltration, submucosal edema Treatment
Facial nerve decompression via transmastoid approach Medication:1mg/kg methylprednisolone
F/U:
2 month after: PFP regress to HB3
6 month after: syndrome regressed, except HB3 PFP recur on right side 1, 3, 7 years after surgery No recurred during last 3 yr
Patient 2: 32y/o male clinical feature
lower lip edema, fissure tongue, diarrhea, burning sensation in right eye (uveal ectropion, visual loss)
Treatment
Intralesional corticosteroid treatment (triamcinolone,10mg/mL) F/u
Lip edema regression 1 month after injection
Recurrent PFP: 1990, 1991, 2002(right) 1993, 1994(left) No recurred during last 1 year
Patient 3: 21y/o male clinical feature
Upper lip edema, fissure tongue, periorbital edema , hives, rhinitis, conjunctivitis No PFP
Histopathology feature
Non caseified granulomatous morphology, granulomatous cheilitis Treatment
Intralesional corticosteroid injection Regression 3 weeks after injection
Discussion
z Diagnosis is difficult because triad presence only8~18%
z Most dominant manifestation:facial edema, acute, diffuse, painless, mostly upper lip
z Does not respond to antihistamines z Can lead to fibrosis
z Facial paralysis occur months to years before or after facial edema z PFP could be uni or bilateral, partial or complete
z Lingua plicata has been considerate as congenital
z Biopsy exclude Crohn disease and sarcoidosis (類肉瘤症)
z Other finding:trigeminal neuralgia,paresthesias(皮膚異常), ocular palsies(眼部 癱瘓), blepharospasm(眼瞼痙攣) , epiphora(淚漏) keratits(角膜炎), migraine z Treatment:systemic or intralesional corticosteroids

出處:Head and neck medicine and surgery 30(2009)33-37 註:House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system
Grade Definition I Normal symmetrical function in all areas
II Slight weakness noticeable only on close inspection Complete eye closure with minimal effort
Slight asymmetry of smile with maximal effort
Synkinesis barely noticeable, contracture, or spasm absent III Obvious weakness, but not disfiguring
May not be able to lift eyebrow
Complete eye closure and strong but asymmetrical mouth movement with maximal effort
Obvious, but not disfiguring synkinesis連帶運動, mass movement or spasm痙攣
IV Obvious disfiguring weakness Inability to lift brow
Incomplete eye closure and asymmetry of mouth with maximal effort Severe synkinesis, mass movement, spasm
V Motion barely perceptible
Incomplete eye closure, slight movement corner mouth Synkinesis, contracture, and spasm usually absent
VI No movement, loss of tone, no synkinesis, contracture緊縮, or spasm 註:sarcoidosis
Multisystem granulomatous disorder
Clinical feature:dyspnea呼吸困難,dry cough, chest pain, fever, malaise,fatique Pulmonary symptoms are most common
Histopathologic feature:non-caseating granulomatous inflammation,giant cell,histiocytes aggregation
