ABSTRACT
Congenital ear anomalies affect 15 to 20% of neonates and can be categorized as either auricular deformations or malformations. Deformations involve a fully developed, albeit abnormally shaped, chondrocutaneous framework, which makes them amenable to correction with ear molding within the first few months of life. Malformations involve hypoplastic or fully absent auricular structures that require augmentation with alloplastic and/or autogenous reconstruction. The goal of this article is to outline the various auricular deformities and malformations, followed by a description of the latest clinical management options, both nonsurgical and surgical, by auricular anomaly.
