Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is an uncommon granulomatous condition 
characterized by persistent or recurrent orofacial oedema, relapsing facial 
paralysis and fissured tongue. We report here a case of MRS with the classical 
triad of signs accompanied by unilateral anterior uveitis. A 35-year-old man 
with a fissured tongue, recurrent facial palsy and orofacial oedema presented 
with a 3-month history of conjunctival redness and decreased vision in the right 
eye. On evaluation of visual acuity, the patient was only able to count fingers. 
Slit lamp examination revealed severe conjunctival injection, cells and flare, 
posterior synechiae and keratic precipitates. Examination of the left eye 
revealed no evidence of inflammation. Examination of the other systems was 
normal. The patient was treated with topical corticosteroids and cycloplegics 
and the visual acuity improved to 7/10. To our knowledge, there are no previous 
reports of an association between uveitis and MRS.
