This report details an extremely rare case of polyotia, a congenital deformity involving accessory auricular appendages. Surgical correction in a seven-month-old male infant yielded successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Polyotia is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of accessory auricles.
  • Accessory auricular appendages can vary in size and morphology, often associated with other craniofacial abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A seven-month-old male presented with a congenital deformity of the right auricle, resembling a large accessory auricular appendage.
  • The anomaly featured a helix-like protuberance, a long helical crus, and a conchal cavity adjacent to the external auditory meatus.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention was performed to correct the polyotia and accessory auricular appendage.
  • The surgical procedure achieved favorable cosmetic and functional results.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of rare auricular malformations.
  • The presented diagnostic criteria for polyotia and accessory auricular appendages may aid in future clinical management.
  • Detailed surgical descriptions can inform reconstructive techniques for similar congenital deformities.
