Auricular pseudocyst in Nepali population & its definitive treatment
Abstract
Objective: To study the epidemiological profile of auricular pseudocyst in Nepali population & establish a definitive treatment for this condition.Material and methods: This is a retrospective study involving ten patients diagnosed with auricular pseudocyst in Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara between March 2005 and December 2010. All the patients were treated with de-roofing of the pseudocyst + creation of a small cartilage window followed by button compression.Results: All 10 patients were males. The mean age was 34.7 years with a range of 25 to 42 years. Eight (80%) patients had a right-sided lesion, whereas 2 (20%) patients had a left-sided lesion. The average duration of swelling before presentation to the hospital was 21.6 days, ranging from 14 to 30 days. The pseudocyst was located in triangular fossa in 6 (60%) patients, in scaphoid fossa in 3 (30%) patients and in concha in 1 (10%) patient. The patients were followed up for 3 months after surgery. No recurrence was seen in any patient and all patients had cosmetically acceptable pinna with no complications.Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of auricular pseudocyst is similar in Chinese as well as Nepali population. A triad of surgical de-roofing of the pseudocyst + creation of a small cartilage window followed by button compression is the definitive treatment. It is not associated with recurrence, gives a cosmetically acceptable pinna & has no complications.References
