| Popis: |
Many different congenital malformations of the external ear are encountered in otology and plastic surgery practice. However, there has been only one report in the literature of reverse (convex) conchal deformity in otherwise normal ears. Eight such cases were encountered in the combined otology and plastic surgery practice at the authors’ institution. The condition was bilateral in two patients and unilateral in six patients; these patients had no other otological abnormalities. Two patients sought surgical correction. Modified conchoplasty, done by excising and replacing the conchal cartilage in reverse fashion, is presented. Controversies surrounding the embryogenesis of concha are also addressed. |
