Abstract

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) includes the triad of oro-facial edema, facial nerve palsy and furrowed tongue. The exact etiology is unknown. However, genetic and acquired factors have been implicated. It is rare in children. In this study, we report a ten year old boy who was diagnosed with MRS with recurrent facial nerve paralysis and facial edema.
