Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Pseudocyst of the auricle is a benign asymptomatic swelling, which usually occurs on the lateral and anterior aspect of the auricle most commonly seen in young patients. The condition is difficult to treat medically and surgically and is known for recurrence. Material and Methods: 20 patients with Pseudocyst of Auricle were treated at our tertiary hospital using a simple technique with insertion of a sized infant feeding tube as drainage tube post incision and drainage till drainage subsided and patients were followed up for recurrences. Results: Patients included 16 males and four females, aged between 24-42 years of age. All 20 cases were unilateral; 18 of which involved left pinna. None of the patients gave any history of obvious trauma or bleeding disorders. All 20 patients showed complete relief from the condition with no recurrences at three months of follow up. Conclusion: With our experience with 20 cases we put forward a simple and cost effective technique as a successful treatment option for pseudocyst of the auricle.
