  • Title: An additional classification for congenital aural atresia. Its impact on the predictability of surgical results.
    Author: Cremers CW, Marres EH.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg; 1987; 41(4):596-601. PubMed ID: 3425299.
    Abstract:
    An additional classification of type II of congenital aural atresia (to Altmann) is presented. This subclassification proved to be useful in predicting the change on a servicable hearing level after a canal plasty procedure. Also a correlation has been noted between the postoperative hearing level and the degree of malformation of the auricle. In type II A atresia the rate of success is so good, that a small group of patients with unilateral atresia and this class of anomally can also be expected to benefit from surgery.
