Abstract
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare vasculitide characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilagenous structures (auricular, nasal, laryngotracheal, articular) and specific sense organs (eyes and ear). Neurological complications are exceptional. We report the case of an elderly and previously well woman who presented with inflammatory syndrome and stroke as the first manifestations of this disease.Entities:
