Article categorization

This article was initially categorized based on scheme outlined at WP:DERM:CAT. ---My Core Competency is Competency (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History

I think the history section needs a severe reworking - it doesn't read well and seems to be taken mostly from the referenced paper. i think it can probably be summarised in one or two sentences, describing the changing view of the prevalence of cauliflower ears in the metally unstable.

1920s Boxers

Why is cauliflower ear particularly seen in 1920s boxers as opposed to other boxers. Are there many 1920s boxers left alive with this condition?Tt 225 19:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Can an expert confirm if hematoma auris and perichondrial hematoma are correct synonyms for this condition?--Sonjaaa 21:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, Cauliflower ear is a complication; an untreated hematoma auris or perichondrial hematoma can result in a cauliflower ear. --94.212.39.180 (talk) 15:13, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External Links

Cauliflower ear is not a disease, therefore i removed the "disease" from categories.

The Video On You tube was inactive, so removed the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atghate (talk • contribs) 07:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable cases

I have removed this section. The only notable case would define a person's identity or change a career fundamentally – and I see no evidence of that. If this information is encyclopedic, it belongs in the articles of the individuals named (in which case, it would have to cite a source). Cleduc 04:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link to naturopathic treatment: It's pointless and most likely an advertisement edited in by someone who works for that company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.178.240 (talk) 04:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's not cauliflower ear, read the article. That ear was a sack of blood and pus, not malformed tissue. hateless 09:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mental Retardation

I work in a state facility that cares for profoundly mentally retarded people and almost all of them have ears like this. --72.191.211.182 (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drainage

There is no mention in the article of draining a cauliflower ear. It can be drained with a syringe. -- Frap (talk) 18:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Project Medicine: restructuring and expanding the article

Hello all, as a team myself and As892 are planning to restructure and expand this article. We plan to remove less relevant information in the introduction and divide the information into sections according to the Wikipedia manual of style for medicine-related articles. Addition of section headings and information will focus on:

signs & symptoms
causes
mechanism (pathophysiology) - discuss how the hematoma which results in cauliflower ear forms (anatomically) and results in the presentation
diagnosis - clinical presentation and criteria to confirm diagnosis
prevention - discuss how various protective equipment protects ears from trauma (if this information is available and in a manner which does not support any one corporate entity)
treatment - add information about surgical correction methods
outcomes
history - more well-known people who had or were treated for the prevention of cauliflower ear
special populations

We will add to the photographs on this page for a better visual representation of the symptoms of this malady. The above information will be gathered from related review articles to ensure information is current and amply-reviewed and cite appropriately.

Peer Review: Overall I think you did a great job editing this page and made the article easier to read. Before your edits the page was quite bare. You followed your plan and completed almost all your objectives including editing several sections, adding a table, and adding several pictures. Here are some small suggestions:

Presentation: Great discussion of most likely presentation of cauliflower ear with suggestion of other injuries. Only edit would be to change “patients” to “persons/people”.

Causes: I like the description of why this tissue is likely to present with cauliflower ear. I would simply change the word “integumentary” to “skin” so that non-medical readers can understand.

Mechanism: This is a great in depth description of the mechanism in which cauliflower ear occurs. You may want to consider dumbing down the language a bit for the average layperson to read but overall this is a great explanation. If possible you may also want to add an anatomical picture to better illustrate the different parts of the ear (e.g. helix, antihelix, etc.)

Diagnosis: I love the pictures and table that you have added. I think this really makes the page more readable. Good job!

Treatment: I like that you added that there is no single best treatment. In the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph you may want to change the statement “evacuation of the blood is needed to prevent…” to “evacuation of the blood can prevent…” because you state in the 2 sentences before that there is no single best treatment. The discussion of different types of drainage is well written.

History: I like the expansion on the history of cauliflower. The picture of the Greek boxer also adds aesthetics to the Wikipedia page. Great job overall!
