Correction of anteverted conchal bowl deformity
Abstract
Anteverted conchal bowl is a congenital deformity; in which the conchal bowl is convex. This condition affects the external appearance and also affects the hearing via obstructing the opening of the external acoustic meatus. In the neonatal stages it can be corrected non-surgically, where as in childhood or in an adult, it needs surgical correction. Here we present a case of a patient which was surgically treated in the ENT Unit - GH Ampara, Sri Lanka along with the surgical methods utilized.
