Abstract

Microtia is a congenital anomaly; characterized by a small, abnormally shaped auricle (pinna). It is usually accompanied by a narrow, blocked or absent ear canal. Microtia can occur as the only clinical abnormality or as part of a syndrome. The estimated incidence of microtia is (1 / 5000) to (1/ 20000) of total births and it is more common in males. Microtia can have a genetic or environmental predisposition. Here we reported a family with 2 successive deliveries of female infants within 12 months period, with bilateral microtia in the absence of any of the known risk factors or teratogens, in addition to the absence of previous family history of any kind of birth anomalies.
