  • Title: Correction of severe ear deformity due to a congenital earlobe defect.
    Author: Ohsumi N.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1996 Feb; 36(2):212-8. PubMed ID: 8919391.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the reconstruction techniques I have developed to correct a congenital earlobe defect. My technique was employed in the correction of four auricles in two cases of ear deformity due to a congenital earlobe defect. The first case is a 3-year-old girl with a congenital bilateral earlobe defect, loss of the right superior crus of the antihelix, and a left protruding ear. The second case is a 52-year-old female with a congenital bilateral earlobe defect and bilateral protruding ears. The shape of each reconstructed auricle and earlobe was satisfactory.
