Abstract
|
|
|
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare condition of unknown etiology in which recurrent episodes of inflammation are
followed by the destruction of cartilaginous structures, which predominantly include the nose, ears, and tracheobronchial
tree. Although many autoimmune disorders, such as systemic vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus,
Sjogren’s syndrome, and Behcet’s disease, are commonly found in patients with relapsing polychondritis, ankylosing
spondylitis is rarely associated with this disease. We report a case of relapsing polychondritis with ankylosing spondylitis
in the same patient.
