A rare case of microtia

Microtia is a rare genetic condition primarily affecting the pinna causing deformities congenitally during the embryologic development. Microtia when associated with ear canal atresia can cause partial or total deafness depending on the extent of deformity of canal. It is a rare condition that occurs in 1 per 10,000 births, with male predominance and involves right ear more commonly but can be bilateral too.
