Relapsing polychondritis may affect any part of the body where cartilages are present. Any of these parts may become swollen, and the nose’s bridge can collapse into a saddle nose shape. Several other organ systems can be involved in relapsing polychondritis. The tissues of the eyes may become inflamed, including episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis. Another typical case in this disease is nasal inflammation. Destruction of the cartilage of the bridge that can lead to deformity can be possible.
