Q

Non surgical management for aural hematomas

A

Usually done in first 24 hours.

Use 18g needle and drain. Combine aspiration with IV or local Dexamethasone or methylprednisolone infusion for better outcome.

In ears that stand up make hole closer to skull to allow for drainage, in flopped ears make hole near tip of pinna.

Should repeat procedure for better success rates
