title: [Relapsing polychondritis. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Relapsing polychondritis is not a very frequent systemic disease. Nevertheless, it has to be borne in mind since very often the first symptoms appear in the sphere of otorhinolaryngology. We are faced with the problem of differential diagnosis in a case which in the beginning seemed to be a neurological pattern. The definitive diagnosis was not established until 15 months after the appearance of the symptoms when, after several outbreaks, the clinical pattern was clearer. As we have to deal with a recurrent and systemic pathology whose diagnosis is eminently clinical, long-term pursuit and valuation are necessary to allow us to know the natural history of the disease as well as the reaction to the treatment.
