| Abstract |
Polychondritis is a disease manifesting as an episodic inflammation of cartilagenous structures throughout the body with progressive course. We describe a patient with a presentation picture of two episodes of meningoencephalitis and after the outcome with polychondritis. Neurological involvement is rare in this disease as neurologic presenting symptoms do. The diagnostic precision was determinant for a satisfactory outcome with corticosteroids and methotrexate. |
