摘要 BACKGROUND Relapsing polychondritis is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease that mainly involves systemic cartilage and proteoglycan-rich tissues.If the larynx and trachea are involved,the patient’s condition deteriorates rapidly.When relapsing polychondritis becomes more advanced,the airways collapse and treatment is difficult,rendering a poor prognosis.Therefore,the diagnosis method,treatment strategy and prognosis of relapsing polychondritis with larynx and trachea involvement need to be elucidated to improve clinicians’awareness of the disease.CASE SUMMARY A man and a woman were admitted because of breathlessness.Relapsing polychondritis was diagnosed after a series of accessory examinations.They were both treated with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants,and underwent tracheotomy as their breathing difficulties could not be relieved by the medication.CONCLUSION The two cases highlight the importance of the timely diagnosis,full evaluation and initiating individualized treatment of relapsing polychondritis with larynx and trachea involvement.Laryngoscopy,bronchoscopy and pathological examination are helpful in diagnosis of this disease.
