Abstract:
Objective To explore the potential value of knowing the relationship between congenital auricular deformities and middle ear malformations. Methods A total of 86 patients with congenital auricular deformities and middle ear malformations, including 51 males and 35 females, were admitted from January 2008 to December 2009 to the Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University. Fifty-eight with congenital auricular deformties were included. High-resolution CT (HRCT) data was obtained from each patient. The auricular deformities were classified into three grades using the Marx H classification system. The modified Jahrsdoerfer grading system was used to score the malformations using HRCT data.The correlation between the grades of auricular deformities and scores of middle ear malformations was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results The Marx H grades of congenital auricular deformties were 12 patients with grade Ⅰ , 25 patients with grade Ⅱ and 77 patients with grade Ⅲ, while their corresponding Jahrsdoerfer scores were 7.8 ± 2.4, 6.8 ± 2. 6 and 6.0 ± 2. 8, respectively. The statistical analysis suggested a trend of negative correlation between the Marx H grades of auricular deformities and the Jahrsdoerfer scores of middle ear malformations ( r = - 0. 2386, P = 0. 0106 ).Conclusion There was a trend to a negetive correlation between congenital auricular deformities and middle ear malformations.
