CONGENITAL BILATERAL PREAURICULAR SINUS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Congenital anomalies are common conditions in the auricular region. Major abnormalities give rise to serious structural and functional disorders, meanwhile minor anomalies lead mostly to cosmetic concerns. Preauricular sinuses are seen in the anterosuperior part of the auricle and usually on the unilateral side. They occur due to the incomplete closure of the dorsal part of the first branchial cleft. It presents as a small opening hole in the skin anterior to the insertion of the helix. Preauricular sinus is usually asymptomatic, however, it may sometimes accompany with recurrent wound infections. In this study we presented a bilateral preauricular sinus in a 26 year old woman having wound infection on the preauricular region recurring for 10 years and the topic was discussed in light of literature
