| Abstract: | Relapsing polychondritis is an autoimmune disease that affects all body cartilages. The disease may also involve the audio-vestibular system, usually bilaterally. Most of the reported cases were adults 20 years old or more. This is a case report of a 12-year-old girl with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and a review of the literature. |
