ABSTRACT

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare systemic disease that is characterized by recurrent episodic inflammation of the cartilaginous structures of the body, resulting in their progressive destruction and subsequent replacement with fibrotic scar. We present a case of RP that initially manifested with subglottic involvement and we propose an innovative strategy fo r the treatment for laryngeal RP in phase of active inflammation. A multidisciplinary approach (rheumatologist, otolaryngologist, immunologist, internist, cardiologist, etc) and adequate follow-up are essential. The timeliness of the diagnosis is fundamental to contain the destructive effects on the cartilages involved.
