摘要
This report describes a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who developed auricular and ocular signs consistent with relapsing poly chondritis. Extensive marginal keratitis progressed to ulceration and perforation of each cornea that resulted in blindness. The use of corticosteroid therapy for polychondritis is discussed. © 1968.
