Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 18
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE A 35 years old male patient presented with complaint of uncomfortable appearance of both ears since birth. History of previous unsuccessful attempts of taping and surgical correction was documented. On examination, the external auditory canal, tympanic membranes appeared normal bilaterally. Bilateral facial nerve examination was normal. The hearing was within normal limits confirmed by pure tone audiometry. Bilateral pinna examination revealed weaker antihelix. Both the conchal bowl sizes were proportionate to the size of ears. Both pinna had an increased conchal-scaphal angle more than 900. Macrotia was ruled out by cephalometric measurements. All the findings were documented with pre-operative photographs (Pic. 1, 2, 3). Appropriate consents were documented. Preauricular region of both the ears revealed scar from previous surgery. These findings were confirmed in OPD and were documented.
