Ear disease, such as otitis externa, resulting in aggressive head shaking or ear scratching, is the most common cause of the development of aural hematomas in dogs and cats. An underlying immunologic cause has also been proposed to explain cartilage and blood vessel fragility. Numerous options exist for management of aural hematomas, from medical management alone with corticosteroids, to simple hematoma centesis, to surgical intervention. Because this condition is usually secondary to another disease process, regardless of mode of treatment, likelihood of recurrence is low if the underlying condition is managed properly.
耳部疾病，如外耳道炎，导致剧烈摇头或抓挠耳朵，是犬猫发生耳血肿最常见的原因。也有人提出潜在的免疫原因来解释软骨和血管的脆弱性。耳血肿的治疗有多种选择，从仅用皮质类固醇进行药物治疗，到简单的血肿穿刺，再到手术干预。由于这种情况通常继发于另一种疾病过程，无论采用何种治疗方式，如果潜在疾病得到妥善处理，复发的可能性较低。
