What is the common name given to hematoma auris?
Cauliflower Ear.
This condition develops after continuous trauma and injury in the ear – this causes blood and other fluids to clot, ultimately creating fibrous tissue which gives the ear a characteristic irregular appearance, resembling a cauliflower. This condition is irreversible.
Due to its association with trauma, it is often associated with athletes of combat sports such as MMA or Jiu-Jitsu.
Interestingly, this condition has been recorded since Ancient Greece – below is the sculpture Boxer at Rest, depicting a resting boxer with cauliflower ears. It is currently in display in the National Museum of Rome.
