Epidemiological Research of Microtia Combined With Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2020
Summary: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common combined malformations of microtia. There is currently no specific study that investigates the relationship between microtia and CHD. Methods: This study collected microtia inpatients admitted from May 1, 2015 to July

Auricular Reconstruction of Congenital Microtia (Grade III)

The Laryngoscope, 1996
AbstractThe auricular deformity of congenital microtia (Grade III) is almost always associated with congenital atresia, an affliction that can cause devastating physical and psychological trauma in children. Auricular reconstruction for congenital microtia (Grade III) should provide a child with a reasonable facsimile of an ear through a limited number

Pedigree and Genetic Study of a Bilateral Congenital Microtia Family

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2010
Microtia can be defined as a malformation of the auricle; the varying severity that results can range from mild distortion of the anatomic landmarks to the complete absence of the ear. No specific study has been reported analyzing a family of several generations with bilateral congenital concha-type microtia so far.The authors obtained medical records ...

Congenital Microtia: Reconstruction With a Silicone Rubber (Silastic) Prosthesis

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1971
The artistic surgical anatomy of the external ear is delicate and difficult to duplicate. The Cronin Silicone rubber (Silastic) otoplasty prosthesis for subcutaneous implantation allows a good cosmetic result in two stages. A not infrequent complication is exposure of the silicone rubber frame.

Combined reconstruction of congenital auricular atresia and severe microtia

The Laryngoscope, 2003
AbstractObjectives: Due to their embryologic developments, auricular atresia and severe microtia are in most cases combined malformations. The aims of this study were to develop a surgical technique for combined esthetic and functional reconstruction with a minimum of operations and to evaluate the results. Study Design: Prospective clinical evaluation.

Modification in the Technique of Ear Framework Fabrication for Congenital Microtia

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012
Ear framework fabrication with autologous costal cartilage is considered to be one of the important factors for successful auricular reconstruction. Congenital microtia in adults has many particular physiological characteristics different from that in children.

Microtia and Other Congenital Auricular Deformities

2017
Ear deformities have been classified as a continuum ranging from anotia to prominent ear. Microtia literally means small ear, and it presents a congenitally small and malformed external ear. The incidence of microtia is 1 in 7000–8000 live births, and it is unilateral in 80–90% of cases.

Differential expression of long noncoding RNAs in congenital microtia

Gene Expression Patterns, 2017
To analyse lncRNA expression profiles in microtia using bioinformatics analysis.We examined lncRNA expression profiles in residual ear cartilage and normal ear cartilage from individual congenital microtia patients.The gene chips used in this study included 30586 lncRNAs and 26109 mRNA probes.
