Abstract
An extremely rare case of polyotia is presented. A seven-month old male had a congenital deformity of the right auricle, appearing like a large accessory auricular appendage. It had a small helix-like protuberance connecting to a very long helical crus; there was a conchal cavity between the external auditory meatus and the protuberance. Surgery led to good results. The surgical procedure is described and the literature concerning polyotia discussed. Our diagnostic criteria for polyotia and the accessory auricular appendage are presented.
