Migratory leptomeningeal inflammation with relapsing polychondritis.
We report a case of relapsing polychondritis with focal sensorimotor seizures, aseptic meningitis, and migratory leptomeningeal enhancement on contrast MRI. These abnormalities on imaging studies correlated accurately with laterality of the patient's seizures, facilitating early aggressive management of his neurologic symptoms.
