An unusual case of recurrent post aural abscess.

Preauricular sinus (PAS) is a common congenital anomaly which is usually asymptomatic and noted on routine otolaryngological examination which requires no treatment. Patients presenting with discharge, recurrent infections and preauricular abscess will require management with antibiotics and surgical extirpation of the sinus tract. We present a rare case of a PAS presenting as a recurrent postaural abscess.
