Congenital ear deformities like prominent ears can be corrected non-surgically with splinting during infancy. Most ear deformities are noticeable at birth or within the first six months, allowing for early, cost-effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Plastic Surgery
  • Neonatal Care
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Non-hypoplastic congenital ear deformities are common.
  • Early intervention with non-surgical splinting is effective for prominent ears.
  • Understanding the onset of ear deformities is crucial for timely treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the typical onset of prominent ear deformity in children.
  • To inform the optimal timing for non-surgical correction of prominent ears.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study utilizing postal questionnaires.
  • Parents of children with prominent ears were surveyed about the onset of the deformity.
  • Data collected from 79 returned questionnaires out of 100 sent.

Main Results:

  • The prominent ear deformity was noted at birth in 61% of children.
  • By 6 months of age, 86% of children had the deformity noted.
  • All cases of prominent ear deformity were identified by 5 years of age.

Conclusions:

  • Prominent ear deformities are often present from birth or early infancy.
  • Early, non-surgical treatment of prominent ears is feasible and recommended.
  • Non-surgical correction offers a cost-effective, anesthesia-free option for prominent ear deformities.
