Abstract: | Morbihan Syndrome is a rare entity with unknown etiology. It is clinically
characterized by chronic erythematous edema on the face - especially in the
middle and upper third of the face - and creates abnormal facial contours
that are initially intermitent but become permanent with the development of
the syndrome. The histopathology is nonspecific and its therapy is a major
challenge due to poor response to the various treatment options. We present
the case of a male patient with a five-month-history of disease. |
