OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to describe the ophthalmic features and histologic eyelid findings of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. DESIGN: Three patients with eyelid edema underwent eyelid biopsy to establish the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. RESULTS: Of the three patients, only one patient manifest the classic triad of facial edema, facial paralysis, and furrowed tongue. Histoloppgically, the eyelid skin in all patients showed characteristic perilymphatic granulomas with marked dermal edema. CONCLUSIONS: The histopathologic features assist in establishing the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome in oligo- and monosymptomatic patients. Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome should be considered in patients presenting with eyelid edema of unknown etiology and biopsy performed. |
