Abstract:
We investigated the correlation between projection of the ear and the antihelical folding angle to clarify which portion of the antihelix should be corrected in reconstruction of prominent ears using computed tomograms of 15 ears in 11 patients with fractures of the facial bones. The angle of the scaphotriangular fossa indicating the superior crus, cymba conchae-triangular fossa angle indicating the inferior crus, and the scaphoconchal angle indicating the antihelical body were measured. There was no relation between the cranioauricular angle and the angle of the scaphotriangular fossa. However, there were significant relations between the cranioauricular angle and the cymba conchae-triangular fossa angle, and the cranioauricular and scaphoconchal angles, which suggests that emphasis should be placed on reconstruction of the inferior crus and antihelical body when prominent ears are being corrected.

The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
