AB  - An  idiopathic  disorder  characterized  by  recurrent  inflammation  of  cartilaginous  structures.  Cardinal  manifestations  include  ear  and  nose  involvement  with  floppy  ear  and  saddlenose  deformities,  inflammation  and  collapse  of  tracheal  and  bronchial  cartilaginous  rings,  and  asymmetric  episodic  nondeforming  polyarthritis.  Other  features  can  include  scleritis,  conjunctivitis,  iritis,  keratitis,  aortic  regurgitation,  glomerulonephritis,  and  other  features  of  systemic  vasculitis.  Onset  is  frequently  abrupt,  with  the  appearance  of  1–2  sites  of  cartilaginous  inflammation.  Diagnosis  is  made  clinically  and  may  be  confirmed  by  biopsy  of  affected  cartilage.
