The correction of auricular and mandibular deformities in auriculo-condylar syndrome.

Auriculo-condylar syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome. The characteristic features of the syndrome are auricular deformity and mandibular hypoplasia. The special auricular deformity is called a question mark ear because of the appearance of the auricle. A 21-year-old male patient with auriculo-condylar syndrome is presented. The auricular deformities are treated by local flaps and anterior scoring. The mandibular contour deformity is corrected by porous polyethylene implant. Both reconstructions were successful, and patient satisfaction was good.
