    To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome and vertigo, we measured waist circumference, plasma glucose, triglycerides and blood pressure in 333 subjects aged 20-79 years with vertigo. We found overall metabolic syndrome prevalence defined by Japanese diagnostic criteria to be 13.2%, similar to that in other national surveys by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The 6-fold higher prevalence in men over women exceeded that of other reports, however. The highest frequency was in vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) disorders, suggesting that conditions such as VBI in men with vertigo could involve metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for vertigo incidence.

    Relapsing polychondritis, a comparatively rare condition systemically affecting organs containing collagen, such as cartilage tissue, is diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and pathological findings. Our case report involves a respiratory symptom alone. A 65-year-old man seen for fever and dyspnea was found in computed tomography and endoscopy to have subglottic and tracheal stenosis, necessitating tracheostomy and tracheal cartilage biopsy. Pathologicalily bony cartilage change was seen but no definite auricular inflammation findings. Additional auricular cartilage biopsy, showed no inflammation. Residual auricular cartilage scarring, however, indicated cartilage destruction by previous inflammation or trauma, yielding a final diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis. Steroid therapy quickly relieved symptoms. Auricular cartilage biopsy thus proved useful in definitively diagnosing this condition.
