Presentation
Here too as in a lop ear deficiencies of the middle ear may or may not be present (Fig. 15-16). e. Cryptotia: Almost the whole of the cartilaginous frame of the ear is developed and present but is contained within a pocket of skin. [shortnotesinplasticsurgery.wordpress.com]
It is a rare tumour which presents with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. [elsevier.es]
Abstract We present a congenital deformity of the right ear, characterized by absence of the central portion of the helix and antihelix. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This presentation will be concerned primarily with the restoration of hearing in an ear with blocked sound conduction and secondarily with some of the cosmetic aspects of the surgery. [jamanetwork.com]
Based on location, different malformations can present. A malformation is not only a change in appearance but also an alteration in function. [statpearls.com]

Ears
- Normal Hearing
Although surgical correction of auditory canal atresia, called canalplasty, can improve hearing, it seldom results in normal hearing at all pitches (frequencies) of sound. [msdmanuals.com]
Because aural atresia occurs after inner ear development, most ( ›80%), patients have normal nerve hearing but have a maximum conductive hearing loss because bone separates the inner ear from the outside sound. [pediatric-ent.com]

- Hearing Problem
Hearing loss for these cases is usually bilateral and may be sensorineural or conductive in origin, hearing problems are also possible. [academic.oup.com]
Further treatment to address hearing problems or the development of the middle or inner ear may be required. Patients with bilateral aural atresia receive bone conduction hearing aids within the first few months of life. [rileychildrens.org]
Treatment
In eight cases, treatment had to be stopped because of an allergic reaction to the adhesive tape used. [sciencedaily.com]
Treatments Treatments Surgery is the typical treatment for congenital ear anomalies. [rileychildrens.org]
For more severe cases, the treatment goals focus on correcting the shape of the ear and restoring any hearing loss. Children need good hearing ability for proper speech and language development. [childrensnational.org]

CONCLUSION: The simple, century-old Gavello's procedure is still of great value for reconstruction of earlobe defects of diverse etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although the etiology of this disease is not fully understood, autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance is possible. The disease occurs as sporadic cases. Male:female ratio for the Goldenhar's syndrome is 2:1. [academic.oup.com]

Some, in particular, include high cerebrospinal fluid pressure, defective endosteum, large quantities of endolymph, and decreased cochlear vascular supply.[11] Clinical Significance External ear: A few studies exist on epidemiological factors of anotia [statpearls.com]
Epidemiology Frequency No statistics are available on the prevalence of protruding or prominent ears. Heredity plays a role in many deformities of the external ear. [emedicine.medscape.com]
EPIDEMIOLOGY • Microtia and congential auditory atresia occur in approximately 1 in every 6000 live births. • These deformities commonly occur unilaterally, more so on the right side. • Men are affected thrice as common as women. [slideshare.net]
Pathophysiology
Because there are several anomalies, there are many associated hypothesized pathophysiologies. [statpearls.com]
Pathophysiology Features seen in the patient with prominent or protruding ears (in decreasing order of importance) include the following: Absent antihelical fold Obtuse scaphoconchal angle Increased distance of helical rim to scalp Deep conchal bowl Address [emedicine.medscape.com]
