A complicated case of relapsing polychondritis: Case report
When RP is exacerbated by infection, leading to progressive dyspnea and causing acute respiratory distress, it is difficult to distinguish based on CT scans. In situations where pathological results are not promptly available, endoscopic diagnosis and intervention are merited, we recommend performing laser tracheobronchoplasty early during bronchoscopy and spraying GCs to reduce mucosal edema.
