A rare congenital ear deformity, involving detachment and rotation of the upper auricle, was successfully corrected. Surgical repositioning using triangular flaps effectively restored the ear

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Congenital ear deformities are relatively uncommon, presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Understanding the embryological development of the auricle is crucial for identifying potential causes of malformations.

Observation:

  • A rare case of unilateral congenital ear deformity is presented.
  • The specific deformity involved detachment and posterior rotation of the right upper auricle.
  • The remainder of the auricle appeared grossly normal.

Findings:

  • The deformity is hypothesized to stem from defective mesenchymal fusion or accretion between the hyoid and mandibular arches during development.
  • Surgical correction was achieved through auricular repositioning.

  • The use of two triangular flaps proved effective in correcting the deformity.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a specific etiology for a rare auricular malformation.
    • The described surgical technique offers a viable solution for correcting this type of congenital ear deformity.
    • Further research into auricular development may elucidate other rare congenital anomalies.
