In our clinic, we encountered 8 patients with pseudocyst of the auricle during a 6-year period from 1987 to 1992 and injected steroid solution locally into the pseudocysts. Three of these patients had no recurrences and 4 were treated successfully after 1-3 recurrences. In only one case was this therapy ineffective. After 11 injections, which resulted in permanent deformity of the auricle, the patient underwent surgery. We believe that local steroid injection therapy should be the first choice method for treating auricular pseudocysts. However, frequent injections can cause auricular deformity and if there are more than 3 recurrences, the pseudocyst should be managed surgically. The lactate dehydrogenase levels of the cystic fluid were determined in 3 of the 8 patients and proved high; in only one patient was the etiology of the pseudocyst thought to be associated with minor trauma.

The habilitation of 34 thalidomide children, begun in 1963 at the Rehabilitation Institute of Montreal, involved the contribution of many medical and paramedical disciplines. These individual contributions are described.Habilitation of congenitally deformed children must be initiated at an early age. The early prescription of a prosthesis is desirable. Their care involves a broad range of services that must be continued over many years. Parents require support before they can accept the misfortune that has befallen them and their deformed child. Despite the necessity of frequent hospitalizations, children should be reared in a home setting. From their experience, the authors conclude that children born with malformations, and their parents, should be thoroughly evaluated and followed up for many years; and recommend that governments should finance programs for the complete habilitation of all children born with congenital malformations. National registries for the compulsory recording of birth deformities should also be established.
