Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is characterised by the triad of recurrent facial paralysis, recurrent edema of the lips and face simulating angioedema, and lingua plicata. In the literature complete triads occurred in 25-30% of the patients. The origin of this syndrome is still unknown, so only symptomatic treatment is possible.
We report a case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with an incomplete picture in association with myocardium injury. Good results with the long-term antinflammatory treatment were achieved. A decrease in the frequency and intensity of the lips edema was also achieved by this therapy. This case presents an association of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with myocardium injury.
