Diagnostic and Therapeutic Insights From a Case Series of Melkersson‐Rosenthal Syndrome With a Complete Clinical Triad: Unmasking the Overlooked Syndrome

Recognition of fissured tongue as part of the clinical triad may facilitate timely diagnosis, avoid unnecessary investigations, and enable appropriate corticosteroid treatment.
