Hygienic care of lingua plicata is of particular relevance, since the degree of microbial contamination of the tongue folds is a key factor in initiation and progression of non-specific glottitises. The aim of the work was to study the effectiveness of hygienic modes of tongue care using "Albadent" balm-rinse in patients having a fissured tongue. Three subgroups of patients were included in the study; patients of the 1st subgroup had their tongues treated with a toothbrush pad, patients of the 2nd subgroup rinsed it with Albadent balm twice, and patients of the 3rd subgroup treated their tongues twice with an irrigator with Albadent balm solution. A comparative assessment of care regimens showed that in patients of the 1st subgroup the hygienic condition of the tongue improved by 2.7 times, and the prevalence of Candida albicans decreased twice. The patients reported unpleasant «scratching» sensations in the tongue after its mechanical treatment. In patients of the 2nd subgroup, the depth of the folds decreased, and hyperemia in the bottom of the folds decreased in half of the observed patients. The hygienic condition of the tongue improved by 2.2 times, and the prevalence of Candida albicans decreased by 2.5 times. Patients reported a pleasant freshness sensation in the tongue after treatment, continuing after spitting for 60-90 minutes. In patients of the 3rd subgroup, the depth of the folds changed insignificantly in the direction of decrease, and hyperemia of the bottom was not detected. The hygienic condition of the tongue improved twice, and the prevalence of Candida albicans decreased by 2 times. Patients reported a pleasant freshness sensation in the tongue after rinsing, continuing after spitting for 40–60 minutes.

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare neuromucocutaneous granulomatous disorder classically defined by the triad: fissured tongue (lingua plicata), recurrent orofacial edema, and relapsing facial paralysis. Association with other dysimmune disorders was reported suggesting an immunological origin to this syndrome. The association with autoimmune thyroiditis remains exceptional and unusual. We report the original case of an MRS associated with Hashimoto autoimmune thyroiditis in a 39-year-old Tunisian man with favorable outcome under thyroxine and systemic glucosteroids. A dosage of thyroid hormones and a screening for anti-thyroid antibodies would be useful in patients with an MRS.

São relatados 4 casos de síndrome de Melkersson-Rosenthal nos quais tanto o edema predominante nos lábios como a paralisia facial periférica ocorreram por surtos. Nos 4 casos havia língua plicata sendo que, em dois deles, este componente era familiar. É realçado o fato de ser a paralisia facial geralmente o primeiro sinal, bem como a possibilidade dessa síndrome ser iniciada nos primeiros anos de vida.

<p class="abstract">Lingua plicata also referred to as scrotal tongue, furrowed tongue, grooved tongue, and plicated tongue is a relatively uncommon condition. It is characterized by multiple asymptomatic fissures or grooves over the tongue, resembling the surface of the brain due to the appearance of sulci and gyri, hence, it has also been referred to as cerebriform tongue.Despite being an asymptomatic condition, lingua plicata is a cause for concern as it can progress to secondary complications due to trapping of food in the fissures. Lingua plicata has been reported in association with pemphigus vegetans of the neumann variety and very rarely with other dermatological conditions such as psoriasis.Pustular psoriasis is an uncommon form of Psoriasis that may be localized or generalized. Acute generalized pustular psoriasis also known as Von Zumbusch disease, is a condition in which the patient characteristically shows features of toxicity, high grade fever and acute generalized pustules over an erythematous base and may be associated with oral mucosal changes in the form of erythema or geographic tongue. This case report describes a 33 year old male presenting with generalized pustular psoriasis and lingua plicata. The patient was treated with intravenous steroids and oral acitretin following which the psoriatic lesions and lingua plicata remitted.</p>

Os autores descrevem um caso de doença de Cowden ou síndrome dos hamartomas múltiplos. Doença de transmissão autossômica dominante cuja tríade dermatológica clássica compõe-se de tricolemomas faciais múltiplos (hamartomas do infundíbulo folicular), fibromas orais e queratoses acrais benignas. Afeta múltiplos órgãos e é associada a várias neoplasias, tais como de mamas, tireóide, cólon e outras. Os autores apresentam um caso de paciente do sexo feminino em cujo exame físico notaram-se pápulas cor da pele na face, lesões papulosas na cavidade oral, mucosa jugal, língua plicata e hiperceratose palmoplantar puntata bilateral. História patológica pregressa de tireoidectomia subtotal por adenoma folicular.

A síndrome de Melkersson-Rosenthal é composta pela tríade: língua plicata, paralisia facial intermitente e edema orofacial. O achado dominante e mais precoce é o edema orofacial. Desta forma, o dermatologista é frequentemente o primeiro profissional a ter contato com o paciente. A condição tem sido pouco descrita em revistas dermatológicas. Apresentamos um caso clássico da tríade completa.

A síndrome de Melkersson-Rosenthal é rara, de etiologia desconhecida e de provável predisposição hereditária. Caracteriza-se pela presença de edema orofacial recidivante, língua plicata e episódios recorrentes de paralisia facial periférica. Após surtos repetidos, déficits permanentes da movimentação facial podem ser responsáveis por transtornos na comunicação, na alimentação e alterações estéticas que determinam danos psíquicos aos pacientes. A abordagem terapêutica da paralisia facial periférica nesta síndrome merece atenção especial e diferenciada das outras etiologias. Nosso objetivo é revisar as características clínicas e discutir as opções terapêuticas existentes na literatura com a desta casuística. Relatamos quatro casos clínicos com paralisia facial periférica e confrontamos os tratamentos instituídos com os dados provenientes da revisão da literatura. Dois dos casos relatados apresentaram evolução favorável da paralisia facial mesmo sem tratamento medicamentoso, os outros dois casos foram submetidos à descompressão do nervo facial. Em um deles, houve recuperação significativa da movimentação facial. O outro mostrou recorrência da paralisia mesmo após a descompressão parcial. Os pacientes com a síndrome de Melkersson-Rosenthal e que exibem paralisia facial com má evolução ou quadros recidivantes, podem ser abordados cirurgicamente.
