Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity that more commonly affects women in the third
or fourth decade of life. It is considered a special form of rosacea and its
pathogenesis is not fully known. It is clinically characterized by the slow
appearance of erythema and solid edemas on the upper portion of the face, with
accentuation in the periorbital region, forehead, glabella, nose, and cheeks. We
report the case of a patient presented with edema on the upper eyelid for a
year. These findings suggested the diagnosis of Morbihan syndrome. We aim to
report a rare, particularly refractory and chronic form of rosacea, which has
received little attention in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
