ABSTRACT

Othematoma is a common disease seen in OPD. Its causes are mostly by blunt injuries or idiopathic in nature, and because of its frequent recurrence, it can bring severe suffering to many patients. Therefore, if it is not properly treated, permanant auricular derformity can result.

Many methods of treatment such as aspiration or incision and drainage, compression after incision and drainage, or closed drainage system were used, but in many cases recurrence was common. Incision and drainage and compression with cotton bolster was applied to 12 cases of othematoma and succeeded in 11 cases. As the incision and drainage method and compression using cotton bolster is simple and yet do not cause any restriction of activity during the time of treatment. It may be useful method in treatment of othematoma, we reported our experiences with a view of the related articles.
