  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 40-year-old man presented with conjunctival hyperemia in his right eye. He had had swelling of bilateral auricles since 4 months before. His corrected visual acuity was 1.2 in either eye, Funduscopy showed normal findings. The right eye was diagnosed with episcleritis. Biopsy of ear cartilage led to the dlagnosis of relapsing poiychondritis. Arthritis in the knee developed 50 days after his initial visit. The episcleritis failed to respond to topical corticosteroid. Systemic corticosteroid induced rapid improvements in episcleritis and polychondritis. Following 3 months of systemic corticosteroid therapy, central serous chorioretinopathy developed in the left eye with the visual acuity reduced to 0.3. Photocoagulation induced cure with visual acuity improved to 1.0. This case illustrates that central serous chorioretinopathy is a liability during systemic corticosteroid for relapsing Polychondritis.
