Auricular swellings significantly affect the facial aesthetics. Swelling affecting the pinna can lead to overt disfigurement and change the entire appeal of the face. Gross deformity can occur because of a delay in diagnosis and mismanagement. In our clinical trial fabrication of a simple, effective innovative pressure appliance for auricular seroma is presented to prevent such changes.
Our case report comprises of a new clinical trial on a patient with auricular seroma referred from the department of ENT, M.S. Ramaiah medical hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka. A 19-gauge stainless steel wire (Leo wire, Leone, Italy) and chemically cure resin was used to fabricate the pressure appliance to prevent the recurrence of auricular seroma.
Patient was successfully treated with the help of pressure appliance after 8 weeks of follow up.
This appliance is a masked alternative to conventional pressure dressing after drainage of auricular seroma which does not pose embarrassment for patient to apply. The use of such an appliance will ensure patient compliance, thereby preventing long term auricular deformity.
耳部肿胀会显著影响面部美观。影响耳廓的肿胀会导致明显的毁容,并改变面部的整体吸引力。由于诊断延误和管理不当可能会出现严重畸形。在我们的临床试验中,展示了一种用于耳部血清肿的简单、有效的创新压力装置的制作方法,以防止此类变化。
我们的病例报告包括对一名来自卡纳塔克邦班加罗尔M.S.拉马亚医学院耳鼻喉科转诊的耳部血清肿患者进行的一项新临床试验。使用一根19号不锈钢丝(利奥钢丝,意大利莱昂内公司)和化学固化树脂制作压力装置,以防止耳部血清肿复发。
经过8周的随访,患者借助压力装置成功治愈。
该装置是耳部血清肿引流后传统压力敷料的一种隐蔽替代方法,患者使用时不会感到尴尬。使用这种装置将确保患者的依从性,从而防止长期的耳部畸形。
