Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome. A diagnostic dilemma

Melkerrson-Rosenthal syndrome is a disease with a triad of clinical features: unilateral facial palsy; orofacial swelling; and a fissured tongue. It is a subset of orofacial granulomatosis. The authors present a case report to increase awareness of the syndrome among general dental practitioners, who may be the first to encounter its manifestations. The management and outcomes of this case are discussed. National and international guidance is lacking owing to the rarity of the condition. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Early recognition of manifestations of the syndrome is important for timely diagnosis, appropriate referral, and multidisciplinary management to prevent complications.
