“…The etiology is related to problems in the process of spreading the upper helix over the antihelix at 3-4 months of gestational age [1][2][3]. Hooding, which is the downward morphological folding of the upper portion of the helical rim, causes deficiencies in the scapha, superior crus, and triangular fossa [3,4]. In severe cases, decreased vertical height of the ear and lower ear position can be observed due to the deepened conchal fossa, anterior projection of the upper portion of the ear, and vertical compression of the triangular fossa of the scapha [2].…”

Constricted ear has a prevalence of 5.2% to 10% among ear abnormalities, and various surgical methods are suggested for treatment. We introduce a case of a constricted ear treated with a simple method using a novel concept cartilage graft and transposition flap, along with the well-known Mustardé suture, which is used for pediatric patients with mild to moderate constricted ears of Tanzer classification type IIA. A 10-year-old female patient visited the hospital complaining of an abnormality in the congenital right ear. Surgical approach was planned under the diagnosis of Tanzer classification type IIA constricted right ear. Posterior helix onlay graft and perichondrocutaneous transposition flap using excessive helical cartilage were performed along with the Mustardé suture. In the immediate postoperative period, ear contour was improved, and it was well-maintained without recurrence until 6 months follow-up. In conclusion, the combination of Mustardé suture, and cartilage onlay graft and perichondrocutaneous transposition flap in the mild to moderate constricted ear would be a useful surgical option, producing aesthetically good results in a simple and effective method.

Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by features such as branchial arch anomalies, hearing loss, preauricular fistula, auricular malformations, and renal abnormalities. Also, BOR syndrome without renal anomalies is referred to as branchio-otic syndrome. In this report, we present a case of a 50-year-old female patient with bilateral type 2 branchial arch anomalies, both preauricular fistula, bilateral inner ear malformations, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and right auricular malformation. The patient underwent surgical treatment. This report is the first documentation in Korea of auricular malformation in BOR syndrome, where the patient’s family exhibited a typical autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
