Sažetak
Congenital malformations of the external and middle ear may have a genetic or an acquired background. Among the congenital malformations about 30% are associated with syndromes involving additional malformations. Also, microtia is associated with congenital defects of the external auditory canal (EAC) of varying degrees. Case report. In a full-term, spontaneously born infant, microtia on the right side and preauricular skin tags on the left side were noted immediately after birth. In addition to the clinical examination, additional consultations and imaging examinations were performed. A lobule type microtia of the right pinna and external auditory canal (EAC) atresia on the right side were noted, the left pinna was fully formed with multiple accessory skin tags. The audiologic examination showed normal hearing on the left side. No additional anomalies were found during diagnostic evaluation. The newborn will be followed up by an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist. External ear reconstruction is planned around the age of 10 years. Discussion and conclusion. When it comes to bilateral anomalies of the external ear, it is important to search for associated anomalies, taking into account the relatively high probability of ear malformations being associated with genetic syndromes. Imaging methods are indispensable for the planning and successful outcome of operative reconstruction and rehabilitation procedures. If normal hearing is confirmed in the contralateral ear of a newborn with isolated microtia, normal growth and development (including speech development) is expected. Family should be made aware of currently available treatment options.
