Common Congenital Ear Deformities/Anomalies are MicrotiaAbsent Ear or Small and Malformed Ear (Microtia ) Cup Ear or Lop Ear Earlobe Deformities Bat Ear or Prominent Ear or Protruding Ear Acquired:-
means acquired after birth, usually post traumatic , post burn or post infective.
Ear Trauma :-One Important thing about ear is that it’s a structure supported by cartilage framework wrapped in skin envelope.
The cartilage is an avascular structure means it has no definite blood supply and it depends upon surrounding skin
for its nutrition. So in cases of trauma if only skin is lost and cartilage still there, it has very high chance of
desiccation ( dryness). So it should be kept moist with normal saline soaked gauge
and some plastic surgeon should be seen urgently. Any delay after a few hours may lead to cartilage desiccation
and loss, making a major reconstruction inevitable later on.
If it has been transected, the detached piece of ear should be washed with simple water and carried along with.
He cartilage part can be harvested and banked in your body and can be reused later on. Ear re-implantation is
also possible, if trauma is not severe laceration.
