“…A literature search shows evidence that vascular and neurologic symptoms are a less common and often overlooked symptom profile of RP, with neurologic involvement estimated to be less than 3% of cases. 41 Interestingly, auricular and CNS involvement have been associated with RP syndrome. This may be due to a common autoantibody or other immune response to both tissues.…”

Relapsing polychondritis remains a challenging diagnosis with cartilage inflammation being the hallmark disease pathology. Typical presentations include inflammation of auricular cartilage and joints, although multiple sites can be affected. Symptoms often overlap with other diseases and diagnosis is often delayed. Neurologic symptoms are rare and are attributed to CNS vasculitis. Here we report a rare case of relapsing polychondritis with neurological symptoms. This case illustrates both the challenges of diagnosis and the need to consider relapsing polychondritis in cases of cartilaginous inflammation.
