Presentation
Lesions of ICC present as unilateral asymptomatic swelling on the auricle and appear in the scaphoid fossa in 80% of patients. The lesions contain viscous yellow fluid that causes slight fluctuance. Usually, no ulceration is present. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The present family has a separate syndrome, but it may have been reported before by Wilmot. [jamanetwork.com]
Abnormal appearance of the external ear and conductive hearing loss present from birth. Bilateral involvement is seen in approximately one-third of patients 2. [radiopaedia.org]
They are present in up to 1.5% of the population and, in isolation, usually present with no functional abnormality. They can be part of a syndrome (eg, Treacher Collins' syndrome or Goldenhar's syndrome). [patient.info]

- Falling
It is not always necessary to surgically remove these embryological remnants and occasionally they fall off naturally, especially if their attachment to a baby is small – small sutures can be used to facilitate this. [chrisabela.co.uk]
If an imaginary line is drawn from the outer canthus of the eye straight back to the occiput (here the occiput is just where the edge of the blanket meets the head), a low set ear will fall completely below the line. [med.stanford.edu]

If the mass is pedunculated, it may fall off spontaneously at early ages. The excrescences are usually 3–10 mm in size. In extremely rare cases, it may be large enough size to resemble an additional auricle defined as polyotia [ 4 ]. [pulsus.com]

- Fever
Swelling, pain, fever, redness or pus in and around the pit, signaling an infection, such as cellulitis or an abscess. A slow-growing painless lump right next to the opening, signaling a cyst. A cyst also raises the risk of infection. [chop.edu]
Other symptoms include malaise, weight loss, fever, and anorexia. It is important to recognize temporal arteritis because it can cause permanent blindness, but this is usually preventable with prompt initiation of systemic corticosteroids. [aafp.org]
- Multiple Congenital Anomalies
DISCUSSION Polyotia was first reported in 1918 by Von Bol and De Kleyn [ 13 ] who described left polyotia in a child with multiple congenital anomalies ( Table 1 ). [e-acfs.org]
In these cases, microtia-anotia is usually part of a specific pattern of multiple congenital anomalies. [sonoworld.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Above this age babies start to get stronger and wriggle too much for a surgical procedure. In these cases a general anaesthetic is advised and for safety reasons it is best to wait until the child is over the age of one. [chrisabela.co.uk]

As its name suggests, ICC is of unknown etiology. Theories involving embryologic malformation of the auricle have been offered to explain its occurrence. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The etiology is multifactorial with interaction between genetic and environmental factors such as exposure to chemicals or viruses during pregnancy and nutritional factors which may interfere with the development of vertebral and branchial systems. [3 [e-ijd.org]
To date, many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of polyotia, with abnormal migration of neural crest cell (NCC) considered the most plausible of mechanisms [ 6, 12 ]. [e-acfs.org]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of CNCH is thought to be related to the anatomy of the ear. The skin over the lateral and anterior aspect of the auricle is thin and tightly stretched over the underlying cartilage. [emedicine.medscape.com]
