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