What is cauliflower ear? 1  Cauliflower ear is an acquired deformity of the outer ear. It is usually due to blunt trauma to the ear.  When the cartilage of the ear is injured by trauma or inflammation, the blood supply from the skin is disrupted, often forming a large pocket of blood, called a hematoma.
Pressure is applied by bandaging, helping the skin and the cartilage to reconnect. Without medical intervention the ear can suffer serious damage. Disruption of the ear canal is possible. The outer ear may wrinkle, and can become slightly pale due to reduced blood flow; hence the common term cauliflower ear.
