title: [Nasal involvement in atrophic polychondritis. A case report].
abstract: Relapsing polychondritis is a rare and little known inflammatory disease. The case of a 29-year-old woman who presented with a one-year history of saddle nose is discussed in this article. After waiting for one year, rhinoplasty was decided, with a good result at the 18th month. We prefer to use a calvarial bone graft for this disease and to only operate under stable and minor conditions.
