Ocular Manifestations of Relapsing Polychondritis

Policondrite Recidivante

“…Das manifestações oculares a mais comum é esclerite e episclerite, frequentemente associada com uveíte não granulomatosa, Outras estruturas oculares ou de anexos podem ser comprometidas. (HERMAN, 1989;McADAM et ai., 1976' FERRY, 1989RUCKER & FERGUSON, 1965).…”

Relapsing Polychondritis: An Updated Review

“…They are usually mild and consist, in order of frequency, of episcleritis (unilateral or bilateral), scleritis (often anterior, lingering or relapsing, exceptionally necrotizing), and conjunctivitis [3,29]. Less frequently, RP can cause iritis, retinopathy, muscle paresis, anterior uveitis, optic neuritis, orbital inflammation, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, peripheral keratitis, retinal vasculitis, occlusion of the retinal arteries or veins, ischemic optic neuritis, and cataract related to the disease or steroid-induced [41,42]. Sometimes eyes are the initial site of involvement and, since most patients with ocular inflammation tend to develop multiple systemic manifestations, this may be regarded as a marker of severity.…”

Ocular Involvement in Relapsing Polychondritis

“…Other cranial nerve involvements reportedly include oculomotor and abducens nerve palsies, as well as trigeminal neuralgia [10,22,26,27,62,63]. Oculomotor and abducens nerve palsies result in extraocular muscle palsies and can also be the initial manifestation of RPC [22].…”

“…Although it is uncommon, idiopathic orbital inflammation and inflammatory pseudotumor have been observed in RPC, leading to proptosis, periorbital lid edema, eye pain, and restriction of extraocular movements [10,24,25,[64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. Proptosis with chemosis due to orbital inflammation may be the first manifestation of RPC [25].…”
