Policondrite Recidivante, um Caso Clínico

Abstract

A policondrite recidivante é uma patologia inflamatória, multissistémica, de etiologia desconhecida que afeta as cartilagens. Caracteriza-se por episódios recorrentes de inflamação das estruturas cartilaginosas que podem resultar em lesão ou destruição dos tecidos. As manifestações mais comuns são a condrite auricular, articular, nasal e traqueal e cerca de um terço dos casos está associado a vasculites ou outra doença autoimune. Apresenta-se o caso de um doente de 74 anos, sexo masculino, internado no serviço de Medicina Interna por pneumonia. Durante o internamento apresentou inflamação da cartilagem do pavilhão auricular direito, o que alertou para a possibilidade de diagnóstico de policondrite. Referia episódios semelhantes nos últimos 3 meses, episódio de olho vermelho um ano antes e artrite com cerca de 10 anos de evolução. Após investigação complementar concluiu-se tratar de um caso de policondrite recidivante, com boa resposta inicial à prednisolona, mas com necessidade de doses altas pelo que iniciou metotrexato.
