[Esthetic otoplasty in subjects presenting with facial neurofibromatosis]

The results of surgical treatment of a woman presenting with facial and cervical soft-tissue neurofibromatosis and a concomitant auricular defect are presented. The otoplasty was performed by means of sectoral dissection of the auricular skeleton as described by Trendelenburg with the subsequent correction of the surrounding facial and cervical tissues. Much attention is given to the step by step procedure of correction of the auricular deformity and the surrounding facial and cervical tissues in the patients with this pathology.
