Intralesional cryosurgery of a bulky post-burned auricular keloid and EAR-Q™ patient-reported outcome measure assessment.

Post-burned auricular keloids are a challenging problem for the patient and physician. We describe a successful combined treatment of a bulky post -burn auricular keloid employing intralesional cryosurgery followed by multiple W-Plasty. An EAR-Q™ pre- and post-operative patient-reported outcome assessments have revealed a significant improvement in all ear parameters of appearance, adverse effects and quality of life. This combined treatment might be added to the armamentarium of possible treatment modalities to this perplexing problem.
