Cauliflower Ear

Description:

Cauliflower ear, also known as wrestler's ear or boxer's ear, is a term used to describe the deformity of the outer ear that results from repeated trauma, typically in contact sports such as wrestling, boxing, or martial arts. This occurs when the ear suffers a direct blow or repetitive friction, causing blood to pool between the cartilage and the perichondrium, leading to its separation and deformation.

Sample Sentences:

  • He developed cauliflower ear after years of wrestling.
  • The boxer's cauliflower ear was a testament to his years of hard-fought matches.
  • She visited the doctor to have her cauliflower ear drained and treated.
  • Preventing cauliflower ear requires wearing protective headgear during contact sports.
  • His cauliflower ear became a distinctive feature that earned him recognition among fellow fighters.
