Abstract

Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a rare, progressive and multisystemic disease characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilaginous tissues. In this report, we present a case of RP that consulted from a urologist due to complaints with bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus and bilateral auricular hyperemia three days after renal surgery. A physical examination revealed thickening of both external auditory canals, with edema and erythema of the auricles; bilateral nasal crusting and hyperemia of mucoperichondrium with pain were also present.

Abstract

Relapsing polikondrit; kıkırdak ve bağ dokuda inflamasyon ile karakterize, nadir görülen, ilerleyici ve multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Bu makalede renal cerrahiden 3 gün sonra başlayan bilateral işitme kaybı, tinnitus ve bilateral auriküler hiperemi şikâyeti ile yönlendirilen tekrarlayan polikondrit vakası sunulmaktadır. Fizik muayenesinde her iki aurikulada ödem ve eritem ile birlikte dış kulak yolunda kalınlaşma, burun kabuklanması, mukoperikondriumda hiperemi ve ağrı gözlenmiştir.
