    Author: Macdonald DJ, Calder N, Perrett G, McGuiness RG.
    Journal: Br J Sports Med; 2005 Jun; 39(6):e29. PubMed ID: 15911593.
    Abstract:
    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 player to continue training and competing.
