Dr Sanjay Singh, Dr Anagha Rajguru, Dr Abhay Havle

Abstract :

 

Introduction: Seromas of pinna is a common condition which is routinely observed in ENT practice. The involvement is usually seen in scaphoid, triangular fossa, and antihelix. Medical treatment is ineffective. Various treatments are suggested in the literature. The aims of the paper were to study the clinical characteristic of patients with Seromas and to share our experience with Aspiration and buttoning as a definitive treatment.

 

Materials and Methods: 186  patients were diagnosed with Seromas of the auricle between October 2016 and June 2018 in Krishna medical college and hospital. Clinical characteristics were noted. All patients underwent aspectic aspiration

followed by buttoning for 8 days.

 

Results and Observations: Out of 186 patients, only 66 were females. Involvement of right  side was seen more than left one. None had bilateral involvement. Adults in the age group of 31–40 were commonly affected. Most common site of involvement was scaphoid and triangular fossa. The success rate with primary aspiration  and buttoning was 98.92%.

 

Conclusions: Seromas of the pinna is a benign condition of unknown etiology affecting the pinna, commonly encountered in middle–aged men and female. Many modalities of treatment have been recommended in the literature with varied recurrence and failure rates. The best form of treatment with minimum recurrence is aspetic aspiration with buttoning.
