| Pseudocyst of auricle in a diabetic patient and wearing helmet often. |
The layers of pinna gets separated because of wear and tear and a fluid comes in.
Since this has no true capsule, so this is known as psuedocyst.
Various treatments have been described for this condition
- Surgical excision-which is technically challenging but can be attempted.
- Repeated aspiration and bandage. (Too slow and may not be rewarding)
- Wide bore needle aspiration and quilting suturing for 10 days under antibiotic coverage (my preferred technique)
 |
| after aspiration of cyst, the cyst is made to remain collapsed by applying buttons on both sides fixed by trans pinna suturing. |
