Abstract:
Otohematoma is a fairly common disease in otolaryngologic clinics. Many physicans have been challanged with various method of management on auricular hematoma. The initial treatment usually involves simple aspiration and a compression bandage. But most of these treatments are recurrent problems and eventually become the cauliflower ear. A treatment involves a total excision of the newly formed fibroneocartilaginous layer. If hematoma persists, perichondrium becomes irregular by thickned fibroneocartilage formation. We treated 11 patients with otoplasty to remove fibroneocartilage under local anesthesia. We found that the perichondrium formed severe fibroneocarilage and organization after 2 weeks. We studied the sequence of pathological changes that occurs after injury.
