    Author: Rampelberg O, Gerard JM, Namias B, Gerard M.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg; 1997; 51(2):73-7. PubMed ID: 9241371.
    Abstract:
    Relapsing polychondritis is a rare disease probably of auto-immune etiology comprising inflammatory involvement of cartilage as well as phenomena of vasculitis. ENT manifestations are frequent and the authors present a case involving chondritis of the auricle, the nasal septum and affecting the cochleo-vestibular system as well. The diagnosis is based on the evocative clinical picture and on histological confirmation. Treatment consists of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.
