[Inaugural bilateral panuveitis in relapsing polychondritis].
We report a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with bilateral panuveitis in a context of unclassified arthritis. The recurrence of uveitis associated with ear chondritis led to the diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis. Ocular symptoms are frequent in the course of relapsing polychondritis, but uveitis is a rare symptom and could compromise the visual outcome.
