A case of leprosy with multiple cranial neuropathy mimicking Melkerson Rosenthal syndrome.

Other cranial nerves can also be involved especially in longstanding cases of leprosy towards the lepromatous pole. Herein, we report a case of leprosy with multiple cranial neuropathy mimicking Melkerson Rosenthal syndrome.
