  • Title: Correction of congenital auricular deformities by splinting in the neonatal period.
    Author: Brown FE, Colen LB, Addante RR, Graham JM.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1986 Sep; 78(3):406-11. PubMed ID: 3748674.
    Abstract:
    Many congenital ear deformities involve abnormal plical folding. This appears to be a result of deficient intrinsic and extrinsic auricular muscle activity as well as intrauterine pressure effects. These deformities can usually be corrected by appropriate splinting in the neonatal period, a time when estrogen activity is increased and the ear is very malleable. The methods used and the results of treatment are presented.
