  • Title: Melting corneas with collapsing nose.
    Author: Michelson JB.
    Journal: Surv Ophthalmol; 1984; 29(2):148-54. PubMed ID: 6505954.
    Abstract:
    A 31-year-old white woman with relapsing polychondritis presented with profound, diffuse episcleritis, marked conjunctival chemosis, and corneal-limbal inflammation and melting, which was refractory to corticosteroid treatment. With the initiation of chlorambucil the inflammation subsided, leaving an almost normal slit-lamp picture. The associated findings of nasal cartilage and pinna cartilage inflammation helped to establish the diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis in this patient.
