“…AH is an otologic emergency that often presents after traumatic injury to the pinna but can also arise spontaneously. 2,20 The hematoma can compromise the vascular supply to the cartilage leading to cartilage loss and eventual fibrosis. 21 A complication of chronic AH includes the formation of cauliflower ear.…”

“…Auricular hematoma (AH) commonly results from blunt or shearing trauma to the soft tissue of the external ear but can also arise spontaneously. 1,2 As blood collects in the subperichondrial space, the vascular supply of the underlying cartilage can be compromised via a tamponade effect, which in turn carries risk of necrosis and tissue destruction. 3,4 In untreated chronic AH, disorganized neocartilage formation and fibrosis can result in pinna disfiguration known as "cauliflower ear."…”

Objectives/Hypothesis To review an institutional experience with auricular hematoma across all clinical settings including the emergency department (ED) and outpatient clinics at an urban tertiary care academic hospital, characterize practice patterns across setting and specialty, and assess for factors predictive of treatment success. Methods Patients presenting to the ED, admitted to an inpatient ward, or seen in the outpatient setting between 2000 and 2017 with a diagnosis of auricular hematoma were reviewed. A number of relevant patient features including demographic factors, medications, and social risk factors were analyzed, as were several factors related to the presentation and management of the hematoma to identify variables of clinical significance. Results A total of 87 individual cases were identified. Auricular hematomas most commonly occurred in males after sports‐related trauma (e.g., martial arts, wrestling, boxing). Factors associated with lower rates of recurrence included initial treatment by or in consultation with an otolaryngologist and application of a bolster dressing. Conclusions In our cohort, initial management of auricular hematoma by an otolaryngologist or with an otolaryngology consultation and placement of a bolster dressing was associated with lower rates of hematoma recurrence.

“…It is commonly the result of direct blunt trauma, usually on the anterior aspect of the external ear with associated findings of fluctuant swelling, tenderness, and discoloration. 1 Auricular hematomas are more commonly found in athletes who participate in contact sports, such as wrestling, rugby, and boxing. They have been reportedly considered to be spontaneous in extremely rare cases.…”

Objective of the study was to review the presentation, types, and causes of ear injuries and various factors affecting the patients with ear injuries over one year attending Government General Hospital Kakinada. All the patients treated are studied, using their clinical records, and follow-up was made. Data were extracted using Microsoft excel 2010 and statistical package for the social sciences (SSPS) software, the results are presented in simple descriptive and tabular forms. 80 patients, 54 males (67.5%) and 26 females (35.2%) were studied ages 8-74 years with an average of 41±5 years. Road traffic accident (47.5%) was the most common cause of ear injury, followed by self-fall (23.75%) and assault (15%). Ear pain (93.75%) is the most common presenting complaint, followed by bleeding from the ear (71.25%) and hearing loss (35%). External ear injuries are more prone as it is easily accessible it includes lacerations abrasions, hematoma, and avulsion in increasing order, followed by TM perforations. Management and outcomes were good except for a few late presenters with complications.
