Perichondritis

Is inflammation of the perichondrium, a layer of connective tissue which surrounds cartilage. A common form, auricular perichondritis(perichondritis auriculae) involves infection of the pinna due to infection of traumatic or surgical wound or the spread of inflammation into depth.

Symptoms:

  • A painful, red ear is the most common symptom. At first the infection will look like a skin infection, but it will quickly worsen.
  • The redness usually surrounds a cut or scrape. Your child may also have a fever, and fluid draining from the wound.
