Othematoma (wrestler's ear) usually
occur as a result of blunt trauma during sports such as wrestling and boxing. The
perichondrium is separated from the cartilage by blood accumulation in the
subperichondrial space between the pericondrium and cartilage. Because of the
auricular cartilage does not have any of vascular structure, deterioration of perichondrial
nutrition results in redness, ecchymosis, and painful edema. In case of late treatment,
it causes deformities and necrosis in the ear. In this study, an otohematomas case
was presented which resulted in recurrent blows on the right ear of a patient
who was learned to be a wrestler.

Tekrarlayan aurikular hematom: Bir olgu sunumu

Öz

Otohematom (güreşçi kulağı); genellikle güreş ve boks gibi sporlar esnasında künt travma sonucu meydana gelir. Perikondriumun kıkırdaktan ayrılması nedeniyle perikondrium ve kıkırdak arasında bulunan subperikondriyal boşlukta kan birikmesi ile ortaya çıkar. Aurikular kıkırdakta vasküler yapı olmadığı için perikondrial beslenmenin bozulması nedeniyle; kızarıklık, ekimoz, ağrılı ödem oluşur. Tedavide geç kalınması durumunda kulakta deformiteye ve bazen de nekroza neden olabilir. Bu çalışmada güreşçi olduğu öğrenilen hastanın sağ kulağına tekrarlayan darbeler alması sonucu gelişen otohematom vakası sunulmuştur.
