Recurrent facial nerve palsy, particularly when alternating sides and accompanied by orofacial edema, should raise suspicion for Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. Recognition of fissured tongue as part of the clinical triad may facilitate timely diagnosis, avoid unnecessary investigations, and enable appropriate corticosteroid treatment.
