TI  - Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with isolated immunoglobulin E 
      hypogammaglobulinaemia.
PG  - 922-5
AB  - Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare disorder classically presenting 
      with a triad of recurrent orofacial swelling, facial palsy and a fissured tongue. 
      This case report describes a case of MRS in a patient with isolated 
      immunoglobulin E (IgE) hypogammaglobulinaemia. The 52-year-old woman presented 
      with puffy eyelids, lower lip swelling and right facial nerve palsy. Fissures of 
      the tongue were also noted. On investigation she was found to have a markedly low 
      serum IgE level. This case report clearly indicates that IgE-mediated reactions 
      do not play a significant role in the development of MRS.
