title: [Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome: report of a familial case].
abstract: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome keeps on being a very unknown disease in our days in its etiology, prognosis and treatment. The limited prevalency of this entity makes in a great number of cases, diagnosis delates, specially when the disease doesn't manifestate in its complete presentation, characterized by the association of recurrent orofacial swelling, peripheral facial palsy and plicated tongue. In this article, we report a classic case of this neuro-muco-cutaneous disease, whose diagnosis delated, perhaps, because we loose the global dimention of the patient.
