Auricular perichondritis is a severe bacterial inflammation of the cartilaginous part of the external ear sparing the lobule and the tragus. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary to avoid necrosis of the underlying cartilage and permanent auricular deformity. Management includes antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Surgery to control the inflammation is sometimes necessary. Wide cartilage and subcutaneous tissue debridement with preservation of the helical rim to minimize the resulting auricular deformity is necessary.
耳廓软骨膜炎是外耳软骨部分的严重细菌炎症,不累及耳垂和耳屏。为避免软骨下坏死和永久性耳廓畸形,需要及时诊断和治疗。治疗包括使用抗生素和非甾体类抗炎药。有时需要手术控制炎症。为了尽量减少由此引起的耳廓畸形,需要广泛切除软骨和皮下组织,同时保留耳轮缘。
