Auricular exchondrosis associated with prominent ears

R Green, F E Lucente

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Posterior cartilaginous protuberances of the ear, known as exchondrosis of the pinna, can impact otoplasty surgery. This study reviews relevant genetic and anatomical literature for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Exchondrosis of the pinna, a posterior cartilaginous protuberance, is often overlooked.
    • Its clinical significance in otoplasty procedures is not widely recognized.

    Observation:

    • A specific case of exchondrosis of the pinna is presented.
    • The case highlights the unusual clinical importance of this condition.

    Findings:

    • This study attempts to consolidate existing genetic and anatomical literature on pinna exchondrosis.
    • The findings aim to provide a unified understanding of the condition's etiology and presentation.

    Implications:

    • Understanding exchondrosis of the pinna is crucial for successful otoplasty outcomes.
    • Further research into the genetic and anatomical factors may improve diagnostic and surgical approaches.
