  • Title: [Recurrent polychondritis: apropos of a case].
    Author: Crovetto M, Solano D, Centeno J.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2003 Dec; 54(10):727-30. PubMed ID: 15164713.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of relapsing polychondritis which presented as hypoacusis and showed several peculiarities. The initial diagnosis was serous otitis. After a more careful study we found certain details which made us suspect a relapsing polychondritis. The diagnosis was confirmed by a biopsy of the nasal cartilage and a detailed systemic study was performed. As distinctive characteristics we found a mixed hypoacusis, in which the sensorineural component was partially recovered following corticoid treatment.
