Abstract
We describe a case of mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage (nasal and ear chondritis) (MAGIC syndrome). Our case was complicated by repeated aortic prosthetic valve dehiscence and femoral false aneurysm. The condition was resolved by treatment with corticosteroids and azathioprine.
