This is a rare auto-immune illness with necrosis of cartilages. Palpebral oedema, conjunctivitis, episcleritis, iridocyclitis and proptosis belong to this syndrom. But the cataracts often described are iatrogenic, due to the intense corticotherapy required. A report is given of one personal observation and discussion of new therapeutical possibilities.
