Abstract Purpose:Relapsing polychondritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder of the cartilaginous tissue. We report a case of relapsing polychondritis concomitant with uveitis.

Case:A 43-year-old woman developed cervical lymphadenopathy, swelling and pain in both the ears, sore throat and fever three months prior to her visit to our hospital. She was referred because of blurred vison in her both eyes. At the initial examination, she had conjunctival hyperemia, mutton-fat keratic precipitates, anterior uveitis, synechia iridis posterior, and macular edema in her both eyes. In addition, redness and swelling of both auricles were observed. Laboratory analysis revealed an elevated serum C-reactive protein level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and white blood cell count. Ultrasonography of the auricle showed swelling and blood flow in the soft tissue of the auricular cartilage and pathological examination of the auricular biopsy showed infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils. We diagnosed her condition as relapsing polychondritis. We started treatment with steroid eye drop and subconjunctival steroid injections for uveitis and oral steroids for systemic symptoms. Uveitis and auricular inflammation improved and there was no further recurrence of ocular inflammation with oral prednisolone maintenance therapy.

Conclusion:Ophthalmologists should be aware that relapsing polychondritis is a potential cause of recurrent ocular inflammatory disorders associated with systemic inflammation.
