Morbihan Syndrome is an uncommon condition characterized by the slow appearance of erythema and solid edema on the upper portion of the face. The disease is considered an end-stage complication of rosacea's recurrent episodes of vascular dilation and inflammation or a complication of acne vulgaris. The disease is often insidious to diagnose and challenging to treat. We report a paradigmatic case of unilateral Morbihan Syndrome induced by use of fullface CPAP masks for OSAS in a patient with rosacea. OSAS could play a role in the development of rosacea symptoms. Our aim is to remark the importance of a careful, prolonged follow-up to optimize patient's management and to improve the adherence to therapy.
莫尔比昂综合征是一种罕见病症，其特征为面部上部缓慢出现红斑和实性水肿。该疾病被认为是酒渣鼻反复出现的血管扩张和炎症的终末期并发症或寻常痤疮的并发症。这种疾病的诊断往往很隐匿，治疗也具有挑战性。我们报告了一例典型病例，一名患有酒渣鼻的患者因使用用于阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAS）的全脸持续气道正压通气（CPAP）面罩而诱发单侧莫尔比昂综合征。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征可能在酒渣鼻症状的发展中起作用。我们的目的是强调进行仔细、长期随访对于优化患者管理和提高治疗依从性的重要性。
