“…One embassy office of neighbouring country each year get about 1200 complaints of unpaid wages; however cases belonging to sexual and physical abuse are a few. [19][20][21][22] The injury should be described in all details; it should include description of wound and its dimensions like length, breadth, and depth. It is essential to take photographs as cross examination ahead may be unpleasant.…”

“…This is basically swelling due to haematoma collected between cartilage and skin. 22 For cauliflower ear to form, the ear has to be smashed hard enough for a large blood clot, which eventually causes damage to the shape and structure. If this ear haematoma is not treated, the accumulated blood and fluid is slowly replaced by scar tissue which leads to permanent deformity.…”

“…If blood and fluid is not drained in 7-10 days then scarring starts forming, and within 4 weeks the new tissue is changed into mature cartilage. 22 There can be hearing problem, ear pain with tinnitus and giddiness. Brutal beating in form of slapping, rupture of tympanic membrane is very frequent.…”

Domestic maid violence is an assault and coercive behaviour, which mainly includes physical, psychological and at times sexual too, by employer or household members of employer against a person hired as a domestic help. Maid abuse is well known but poorly documented in scientific literature. This is an important global issue. In this article, two illustrated cases of maid abuse are discussed. Their employers allegedly subjected both the victims to physical and psychological trauma. The physical examination of the victims showed poor state of clothing, nutrition, and presence of injuries of different duration. The bruises were irregular to patterned, and were inflicted by beating. Both cases had eczematous contact dermatitis over palms and soles, paronechia, and sub-ungal fungal infection due to unprotected working in wet conditions. In both cases, external ears were deformed like cauliflowers due to repeated trauma. All cases had multiple injuries of varying duration. In this paper, medico-legal and social issues related to maid abuse are also discussed in detail. A possible solution to minimise maid abuse is also suggested. This paper highlights and document maid abuse.

“…This condition is very common among wrestlers and boxers and eventually induces aseptic cartilaginous necrosis and the formation of a fibroneocartilaginous layer, which may result in a ''cauliflower ear'' if subperichondrial hematomas recur and the layer is not excised [11]. We therefore consider that the trauma may not be attributed to the compression itself but more to the tangential shearing force during the attachment process and to spontaneous movements of the head.…”
