Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome.
Four patients with recurrent upper lip and facial swelling and lingua plicata together with peripheral facial nerve palsy involvement were diagnosed as having Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. Because of the rarity of this syndrome in children, we present the results of follow-up evaluations of our patients and review the literature.
