This article discusses a case report of a collapse crisis of tracheomalacia caused by undiagnosed relapsing polychondritis (RP) during general anesthesia. RP is a rare multisystem disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory responses in cartilage tissue. The patient in this case was a 37-year-old male who experienced difficulty with tracheal intubation during surgery, leading to dyspnea and inspiratory wheezing. After further examination and consultation, the patient was diagnosed with RP and treated with oral glucocorticoids. The article emphasizes the importance of considering RP as a potential cause of subglottic stenosis and highlights the need for improved preoperative evaluation and management of difficult airway intubation in RP patients.
