[Uncommon ophthalmological involvement in chronic atrophic polychondritis].
OBJECTIVE
Report of two uncommon ocular manifestations of relapsing polychondritis (PR).


METHODS
A 53 year-old woman presented with a uveal effusion. Diagnosis of PR was made 17 years later. A case of PR in a 41 year-old man is reported. The ocular manifestation was a pseudotumor of the lacrimal gland.


CONCLUSIONS
The relapsing polychondritis must be known by the ophthalmologists. The ocular manifestations of this uncommon disease are significative and inflammatory.
