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]
CASE REPORT A 3-year-old girl presented with bilateral auricular anomalies after birth. [e-acfs.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]
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]
Entire Body System
- 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]
- Malaise
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]

Prognosis
The prognosis is generally good, but recurrence after surgery can be a problem. Renal involvement indicates a worse prognosis. Several medical regimens have been tried, including steroids and radiation therapy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The prognosis after ASD closure during childhood is excellent and late complications are uncommon. What if the defect is still present? Should it be repaired in adulthood? If the opening is small, surgery or other treatments may not be needed. [heart.org]
Etiology

Etiology : Autosomal dominant inheritance in some cases [6]. Pathogenesis : unknown. [sonoworld.com]
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]
