Abstract:
Cryptotia is a congenital anomaly of the auricle that the upper pole of the auricular cartilage is buried beneath the skin of the scalp and auriculocephalic sulcus is obliterated. In addition, there is often a deformity of the antihelix, especially its superior crus. The principle of the surgery is to deepen the auriculocephalic sulcus, to correct deformed cartilage and to correct the malposition. For the correction of the bilateral cryptotia, we have applied the modified Ohmori's method and have obtained good result without complication. We report this case with a review of related literature.
