Spontaneous Auricular Hematoma - An Unusual Complication of Dengue fever

Dengue is humans' most prevalent and crucial arthropod-borne viral illness. The majority of dengue fever patients have no symptoms, but certain individuals may progress to dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever. Spontaneous auricular hematoma is a rare complication of dengue fever. We report a unique case of spontaneous pinna hematoma in a young, healthy patient who presented with an unprovoked pinna swelling while being treated for dengue fever. The patient underwent aspiration, drainage, and compression dressing over the auricular hematoma with antibiotic coverage and was discharged well. Early identification of this potential warning symptom may avoid permanent ear deformity.
