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

Abstract
Doğumsal anomaliler aurikula bölgesinde sık görülen bir durumdur. Majör anomaliler fonksiyonel ve yapısal ciddi bozukluklara yol açarken minör anomaliler daha çok kozmetik kaygılara yol açar. Preauriküler sinüs, kulak katlantısının üst, ön kısmında ve genellikle tek tarafta görülür. Birinci faringeal yarığın dorsal kısmının tam olmayan kapanması sonucu oluşur. Dıştan bakıldığında preaurikuler bölgede deriden başlangıcını alan ve iç kısımlara uzanan bir traktüs içeren küçük bir delik şeklinde görülür. Genellikle bulgu vermeyip, nadiren tekrarlayan yara enfeksiyonları ile bir arada olabilmektedir. Her iki kulak önünde 10 yıldır aralıklarla yara enfeksiyonu bulunan 26 yaşındaki bayan hastada preaurikuler sinus saptandı ve literatür eşliğinde konu tartışıldı
