Oral prednisolone was prescribed at a dose of 2 mg/kg for two weeks then 1 mg/kg for a further two weeks. Aural hematomas were treated using a Penrose tissue drain inserted through the hematoma and left in situ for two weeks.

There are no good quality data to determine either the optimal management strategy or even whether post-drainage intervention (such as splinting or bandaging) is necessary. REVIEWERS' CONCLUSIONS: There is no clearly defined best treatment for acute auricular haematoma. MAIN RESULTS: Due to the lack of data from trials fulfilling selection criteria no results could be presented. Forty-eight were retrieved and assessed for eligibility by the authors. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Fifty-nine references were identified from the searches. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials, case controlled trials and cohort studies including children and adults undergoing any intervention for acute auricular haematoma.
The date of the last search was April 2003. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2003), MEDLINE (1966 - 2003) and EMBASE (1966 - 2003) with pre-specified terms. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of treatment options in acute auricular haematoma. Various treatments are employed to relieve the haematoma but no clear consensus exists on the best way to do so in order to produce the best cosmetic result with the least permanent deformity. It is usually caused by blunt trauma, and if untreated will ultimately result in a deformity commonly known as 'cauliflower ear' or 'wrestler's ear'.
