          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: La oreja de Stahl presenta una baja incidencia, aún en centros especializados de reconstrucción auricular. Se caracteriza por presentar un remanente cartilaginoso anormal que se extiende desde el antihélix hasta el borde del hélix, formando una tercer crura. Caso clínico: Varón de 17 años de edad, con deformidad auricular caracterizada por hipoplasia de la raíz del antihélix y presencia de una tercer crura, que comunica el antihélix al hélix. Se realiza resección de la tercer crura y reconstrucción cartilaginosa del pabellón auricular, logrando una adecuada reconstrucción, con buen resultado estético, sin alteración de tamaño en comparación con la oreja contralateral. Conclusiones: Esta es una rara deformidad auricular, muchas veces subdiagnosticada, incluso en centros especializados. Puede acarrear trastornos y estigmas sociales importantes al paciente. El tratamiento quirúrgico es manejo preferencial, y se centra principalmente en la corrección de la tercer crura.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Stahl's ear presents a low incidence, even in specialized ear reconstruction centers. It is characterized by an abno rmal cartilaginous remnant, extending from the antihelix to the edge of the helix, forming a third crura. Case report: A 17-year-old man presented an ear deformity characterized by hypoplasia of the root of the antihelix and the presence of a third crura, which communicates the antihelix to the helix. A resection of third crura and cartilaginous reconstruction of the auricular pavilion was performed, achieving an adequate reconstruction, with good aesthetic results, without size alteration in comparison to the contralateral ear. Conclusions: Stahl's deformity is a rare ear deformity that can lead to significant social disruption and stigma. Surgical treatment is the preferential option for handling this deformity, and focuses mainly on the correction of the third crura.

          Congenital auricular anomalies: topographic anatomy, embryology, classification, and treatment strategies.

          Congenital auricular anomalies are heterogeneous, with various descriptive and eponymous terms being used. Current classification systems are useful in guiding surgical treatment of severe anomalies. However, they do not generally account for the less severe anomalies, which form the majority of congenital auricular anomalies, nor their contemporary treatment. In this article, the authors review the anatomy and embryology of the external ear and propose a simple classification of congenital auricular anomalies that encompasses all forms of congenital auricular anomalies, facilitates proper diagnosis, and guides treatment. Congenital auricular anomalies should be classified as malformational or deformational anomalies. Malformational auricular anomalies are caused by embryologic maldevelopment that occurs between the fifth and ninth week of gestation resulting in deficient and/or supernumerary auricular components. Deformational auricular anomalies result from in utero or ex utero deformational forces, including those caused by an aberrant insertion of the intrinsic or extrinsic auricular muscles. Malformational auricular anomalies generally require surgical correction during childhood or adolescence. For practical purposes, deformational auricular anomalies have a full complement of chondrocutaneous components that can be digitally manipulated to a normal shape. These anomalies are best treated by auricular molding, which is effective if it is initiated within the first 3 months of life. Deformational auricular anomalies are best regarded as a pediatric public health issue and are best managed nonsurgically. Education of neonatal pediatricians, obstetricians, family doctors, and midwives will allow proper early diagnosis of all congenital auricular anomalies, which is vital to appropriate treatment. These practitioners should be encouraged to manage deformational auricular anomalies early in life so that surgery can be largely avoided in these patients.

            Non-surgical correction of deformational auricular anomalies

            Less severe congenital auricular anomalies can be corrected by appropriate splinting in the early neonatal period without anaesthetic and with minimal cost. We present a series of 46 patients affected by various ear deformities (non cryptotia, non Stahl's ear, non prominent ear) that we treated by splintage during the early neonatal period. These deformational auricular anomalies were classified according to the limitation to the external ear architecture development: vertically, horizontally and focally deformed ears. This new classification guided us in splint shaping and positioning. Excellent or satisfactory results were achieved in 98% of the splinted ears. Ear splintage is an effective technique for treatment of neonates with deformational auricular anomalies.

              Abnormality of Auricular Muscles in Congenital Auricular Deformities.

              It has been suggested that there is a close association of abnormality in auricular muscles with various congenital auricular deformities. However, there has been no investigation to determine what muscles are involved and how they affect the deformity. The authors examined abnormalities of auricular muscles for patients with various auricular deformities.
