  • Title: Relapsing polychondritis--two cases with tracheal stenosis and inner ear involvement.
    Author: Clark LJ, Wakeel RA, Ormerod AD.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1992 Sep; 106(9):841-4. PubMed ID: 1431531.
    Abstract:
    Relapsing polychondritis is a rare disease which often presents firstly to ear, nose and throat (ENT) departments. Its complications, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal and neurological are life-threatening; thus it is important to recognize the disease and its complications early. Treatment for relapsing polychondritis may have serious side-effects which should be taken into account when managing these patients. We report two young patients with relapsing polychondritis and their treatments; both had severe tracheal stenosis responding in one case to pharmacological and in the other to surgical intervention.
