Earlobe adhesion

Introduction Attachment of the earlobe means that the earlobe is pulled down or back and visible scars are visible. It is a clinical manifestation of the earlobe deformity. It is caused by burns and self-scarring after trauma. Congenital earlobe malformations mainly include earlobe adhesions and earlobe fissures, while acquired earlobe malformations are mainly earlobe defects and earlobe cracks caused by improper earrings. The normal earlobe edge is a drooping arc, and the combination of the earlobe and the side portion is an angle of less than 90 degrees. Should go to the regular hospital otolaryngology examination.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of earlobe adhesion:

1, the earlobe is too large: the earlobe is too large is a clinical manifestation of the earlobe deformity, the earlobe deformity is generally divided into earlobe adhesion, ear lobes, earlobe too large or missing.

2, ear lobes: more due to violence caused by earrings and so on. It can be seen that the lower part of the earlobe is vertically divided into two parts. Surgery can be directly sutured, and care should be taken to prevent postoperative contracture. This method is simple and effective, but it needs to be re-pierced through the ear. In addition, a narrow strip of flap can be designed at the wound edge to form an ear hole, and the layer is sutured underneath. This method requires a higher technology.

3, earlobe hypertrophy: mostly congenital, there is no recognized diagnostic criteria, it is generally considered that the earlobe is too large or disproportionate with the auricle is the earlobe hypertrophy, the surgical method is relatively simple, can be crescent, wedge Or cut off from the side to reduce the earlobe, and more can achieve satisfactory results.
