Pseudocyst of the auricle in patients with movement disorders: report of two patients with ataxia-associated auricular pseudocysts

Beutler BD, Cohen PR; Dermatol Pract Concept. 2015 Oct 31;5(4):59-64. doi: 10.5826/dpc.0504a15. eCollection 2015.

Pseudocyst of the auricle was observed in two men with neurological disorders: a 33-year-old Asian man with spinocerebellar ataxia and a 47-year-old Caucasian man with Friedreich's ataxia. Patients with neurological disorders, particularly those associated with ataxia and/or dyskinesias, may have an increased risk of developing the traumatic variant of the condition.
