Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is a rare cause of recurrent facial nerve palsy. The syndrome is classically characterized by a triad of signs consisting of facial edema, recurrent peripheral facial nerve paralysis, and congenital fissured tongue, although it may also present in a mono- or oligosymptomatic form. The paper presents a 24-year-old woman with right-sided peripheral facial nerve palsy and a history of left-sided episodes of facial nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance angiography of the cerebral vessels suggested compression of the right seventh and eighth cranial nerves by a vascular loop. The authors describe the patient with a complete picture of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome and discuss the diagnosing process and treatment.
梅尔克森－罗森塔尔综合征是复发性面神经麻痹的罕见病因。该综合征的典型特征为三联征，包括面部水肿、复发性周围性面神经麻痹和先天性裂舌，不过也可能以单症状或少症状形式出现。本文介绍了一名24岁女性，患有右侧周围性面神经麻痹，并有左侧面神经麻痹发作史。脑血管磁共振血管造影显示右侧第七和第八颅神经被血管袢压迫。作者描述了该患者典型的梅尔克森－罗森塔尔综合征表现，并讨论了诊断过程和治疗方法。
