A Navajo Patient with Morbihan’s Disease: Insight into Oculoplastic Treatment of a Rare Disease
Morbihan’s disease is classically defined as primarily a Caucasian disease of chronic, recurrent erythema and nonpitting edema of the middle and upper thirds of the face. The disease is often difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat. Medical management is the primary treatment modality; howeve...

description | Morbihan’s disease is classically defined as primarily a Caucasian disease of chronic, recurrent erythema and nonpitting edema of the middle and upper thirds of the face. The disease is often difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat. Medical management is the primary treatment modality; however, if there is progression of the disease that causes visual impairment, surgical debulking is often required. We present the first reported case of Morbihan’s disease in a Navajo patient in conjunction with a review of the literature on surgical management of this challenging disease. |
