【 摘 要 】

Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS) is a rare disease characterized by the triad of recurring facial paralysis, a fissured tongue, and recurring swelling of the lips and/or face. The etiology is unknown; it may be caused by hereditary factors or conditions occurring later in life. Observation of all 3 of the classic manifestations is rare; most often the symptoms are seen alone or in a pair, and they may appear at any stage of life. This report is the description of the case of a 51-year-old woman who was diagnosed with MRS based on her history and clinical features.
