title: [Rare form of ocular involvement in relapsing polychondritis (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on a 56-year-old woman with relapsing polychondritis, with ocular involvement in the form of bilateral optic atrophy and paresis of the extraocular muscles. The cause of this disorder has not yet been identified, although it is presumed to be an immune disease. Clinically there are some obvious similarities to systemic vasculitis.
