Bei der Chondromalacia systemica, einer relativ seltenen Erkrankung, tritt Iridocyclitis oder Episkleritis auf zusammen mit einer in Schüben verlaufenden Chondromalazie. An einer Kasuistik werden die charakteristischen Krankheitssymptome dargelegt sowie die möglichen Verlaufsformen.

The clinical and histological picture of chondromalacia systemica (von Meyenburg-Altherr-Uehlinger syndrome, relapsing polychondritis) is described with reference to a case history. There is generalized cartilage disease with chondrolysis, perichondritis and generalized manifestations (episcleritis, iritis). The cartilage involvement is primarily located in the ear, nose and larynx. Treatment is based on glucocorticoids.
