Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What vegetable is used to describe a certain ear condition? "
...
Cauliflower ear is an irreversible condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear is hit and develops a blood clot or other collection of fluid under the connective tissue that surrounds cartilage. This separates the cartilage from the overlying tissue that supplies its nutrients, causing it to die and resulting in the formation of fibrous tissue in the overlying skin. As a result, the outer ear becomes permanently swollen and deformed, resembling a cauliflower, hence the name.
The most common cause of cauliflower ear is blunt trauma to the ear leading to a hematoma which, if left untreated, eventually heals to give the distinct appearance of cauliflower, The most common cause comes from participating in grappling and combat sports such as wrestling, boxing and forms of martial arts.
Because an acute hematoma can lead to cauliflower ear, prompt drainage of the blood can prevent permanent deformity. There are many described techniques for the drainage of blood in the acute stage to prevent hematoma, including aspiration, continuous suction devices, placing a wick and incision and drainage. After the blood has been drained, the prevention of re-accumulation becomes the most pressing issue.
