Involvement of cranial nerves is not uncommon in leprosy with trigeminal and facial nerves being commonly affected. Other cranial nerves can also be involved especially in longstanding cases of leprosy towards the lepromatous pole. Herein, we report a case of leprosy with multiple cranial neuropathy mimicking Melkerson Rosenthal syndrome.
麻风累及颅神经并不罕见，其中三叉神经和面神经最常受累。其他颅神经也可受累，尤其是在向瘤型端发展的长期麻风病例中。在此，我们报告一例麻风合并多颅神经病变，酷似梅尔克森-罗森塔尔综合征。
