Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy is an infrequent leukocytoclastic vasculitis which occurs almost exclusively in children between 4 months and 2 years of age. It is clinically characterized by the triad fever, purpuric lesions on the face, auricular pinna and extremities, and edema. Although the cutaneous findings are dramatic and of rapid onset, the prognosis is favorable, with spontaneous r...

Beals syndrome or Congenital contractural arachnodactly (CCA) is an autosomal dominantly inherited connective tissue disorder caused by a mutation in FBN2 gene on chromosome 5q23 and is characterized by multiple flexion contractures, arachnodactyly, severe kyphoscoliosis, abnormal pinna and muscular hypoplasia. Multiple joint contractures (especially finger joints), and crumpled ears in the abs...

Acute auricular haematoma is a common problem in rugby players and can be difficult to treat due to re-accumulation of the fluid and can subsequently cause the unsightly cauliflower ear. We present a case of auricular haematoma affecting the central part of the pinna in a professional rugby player. This was treated successfully by aspiration and the use of silicone splints which allowed the pla...

In 1907, James Ramsay Hunt (1) described a syndrome characterized by facial nerve paralysis associated with herpetic eruption of the pinna and suggested that herpes zoster oticus resulted from a geniculate ganglionitis. However, many contemporary authors agree that this condition represents a polycranial neuronitis and not simply a geniculate ganglionitis. Thus, it is a more complex disease, an...

The patient was a 48-year-old woman admitted to the intensive care unit for respiratory failure, hemoptysis, and acute renal failure. Of note, there was a 2 month history of odynophagia, aphonia, fluctuating bilateral conjunctival injection, joint and muscle pain, and low-grade fever, together with an episode of chondritis of the pinna of the left ear and the appearance of asymptomatic skin les...

Complete excision of a neoplastic lesion on the pinna of the ear may affect the cartilaginous skeleton of this structure (Fig. 1). In contrast to the situation with other facial structures, surgery to the ear has few functional repercussions. However, cosmetic changes due to scar retraction during the healing process are common. Substitution of the cartilage is possible using alloplastic materi...

Though the first documented case was described by Jaksch-Wartenhorst (1923), the name 'relapsing polychondritis' was suggested by Pearson, Kline and Newcomer as late as 1960. The extreme rarity of the condition and its possible confusion with other common conditions in Bangladesh, for example, leprosy, gout and pyogenic conditions of the pinna prompted us to report this case. In addition, the p...
