Microtia (Greek for ‘little ear’) is a malformation or misshape of the
external part of the ear (pinna) and can vary in severity from the ear
being smaller than expected to varying degrees of absence of the outer
ear. In some cases, a smaller or incomplete ear canal and/or hearing
apparatus may be present or missing altogether (atresia). Microtia is
frequently accompanied by atresia because the baby’s outer ear and the ear canal develop together during pregnancy.
