Abstract

Introduction: Relapsing polychondritis is a rare disease, difficult to diagnose, and easily confused due to atypical symptoms. Airway involvement in relapsing polychondritis is a poor prognostic sign that can be life-threatening.


Objective: Describing a case of relapsing polychondritis causing airway stenosis, providing clinical characteristics and laboratory data, contributing to scientific data, helping towards early diagnosis of the disease, and presenting some treatment methods.


Case report: A 55-year-old male patient was hospitalized with severe respiratory failure. Laryngotracheal, auricular, and nasal chondritis help diagnose the disease. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and a tracheostomy.


Discussion: Discussing diagnostic criteria, diagnostic difficulties, and treatment methods, emphasizing the severity of airway involvement in relapsing polychondritis.


Conclusion: Information from the case report and discussion shows the importance of early and precise diagnosis in the treatment and prevention of irreversible complications in patients with relapsing polychondritis causing airway stenosis.
