Review of four cases of relapsing polychondritis (RP) seen at one hospital in the 12-year period 1963 to 1974 revealed that one patient had aortic insufficiency with large artery involvement, two others had involvement of medium and large arteries and the fourth may have had mucocutaneous vasculitis. Valvular disease has occurred in 9% of all cases of RP reported in the literature and, if vasculitis beyong the aortic root is included, 25% of cases of RP manifested inflammatory vascular disease. The frequency of pseudotumour of the orbit and cochlear-labyrinthine dysfunction is also high and may be a manifestation of vasculitis.
对1963年至1974年期间一家医院收治的4例复发性多软骨炎(RP)病例的回顾显示,1例患者伴有主动脉瓣关闭不全及大动脉受累,另外2例患者有中、大动脉受累,第4例可能患有皮肤黏膜血管炎。文献报道的所有RP病例中,瓣膜病的发生率为9%,如果将主动脉根部以外的血管炎包括在内,25%的RP病例表现为炎症性血管疾病。眼眶假瘤和耳蜗-迷路功能障碍的发生率也很高,可能是血管炎的一种表现。
