Abstract Theaim of this study is measurement of the auricle as regards its relation to the face and recording the degrees of anomalies. The special features of these examinations are: 1- Evaluation of the auricular morphological defect in relation to the rest of the head and face, with objective methods, based on measurements between well defined landmarks on the surface of the head and face, in order to establish the degree of aberration from the normal. Measurements of healthy population identical with those of the patient are required for comparison. 2- Establishment of proportions between ear size and craniofacial complex, as well as determining the relationship between ear width and length. 3- Determination of the rate of growth in a face and ear. |
