Abstract

Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome is a neuromucocutaneous granulomatous disease. It is characterized by recurrent facial nevre paralysis, orofacial edema and fissured tongue. Classical triad of this syndrome is very rarely seen, generally only one or two symptoms can be seen. The cause of MelkerssonRosenthall Syndrome is unknown, but genetic and acquired factors may play a role. This syndrome is very rare in childhood, it is more frequently seen in the second and the third decades of life. The disease usually regresses spontaneously or with medical treatment but it can progress and facial nevre decompression may be required in some patients. Treatment is symptomatic and may include medical therapies such as nonsteroid anti-inflamatory drugs, steroids and antibiotics. In differential diagnosis of recurrent facial paralysis Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome must be considered. We present a 23 years old man admitted to our hospital because of recurrent facial paralysis and diagnosed as MelkerssonRosenthal Syndrome without scin biopsy.

Özet

Melkersson-RosenthalSendromu (MRS) tekrarlayan periferik fasiyal paralizi, yüz bölgesinde ödem ve dilde fissürleşme triadı ile görülen nöromukokütanöz, granülomatöz bir hastalıktır. Klasik triadın tüm bulguları seyrek olarak gözlenir, genellikle bir veya iki semptombirlikte görülür. Etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekte olup genetik ve edinsel faktörler rol almaktadır. Pediatrik yaş grubunda daha az sıklıkta görülen bu hastalık hayatın 2. ve 3. dekadında görülme sıklığı artar. Hastalık genelde spontan veya medikal tedaviyle geriler fakat bazı hastalarda progresif seyredip fasiyal sinir dekompresyonu gerekebilmektedir. Tedavi semptomatiktir ve medikal tedavide steroid, NSAİİ ve antibiyotik kullanılmaktadır. Tekrarlayan periferik fasiyal paralizi olgularında ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir. Bu yazıda oldukça nadir görülmesi ve klasik triadın bir arada olması nedeniyle cilt biyopsisine gerek kalmadan Melkersen-Rosenthal Sendromu tanısı alan bir hasta sunulmuştur.
