Abstract | Three patients with relapsing polychondritis (RP) are presented with interindividually different features. In the first patient joint pain, cartilaginous inflammation of one ear, ocular involvement as well as vestibular symptoms were present. The second suffered from reddening of both ears and arthralgia, whereas the third presented with nasal and auricular inilammatory episodes. Each patient profited from a different, individually adapted treatment modality, including prednisolon, dapsone, azothioprine and piroxicam. | |
