Abstract
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis for the nonsurgical correction of complex auricular deformities.
Methods
Clinical data were collected from 2020 to 2021 for 6 patients who underwent correction using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis. The indications, corrective effects, and complications associated with use of the orthosis were analyzed.
Results
There were four indications for treatment: cryptotia with helix adhesion; cryptotia with grade I microtia; cryptotia with excessive helix thickness; and auricular deformity beyond the treatment time window (≥6 months). Excellent corrective effects were observed in all 6 patients. Complications occurred in one patient, who recovered after symptomatic treatment.
Conclusion
The use of a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis alone or combined with a U-shaped helix orthosis presents a feasible approach for correcting complex auricular deformities or deformities beyond the treatment time window in pediatric patients.
方法收集了2020年至2021年期间使用条形耳蜗矫形器进行矫形的6名患者的临床数据。结果有四种治疗适应症:伴有螺旋粘连的隐窝;伴有I级小耳畸形的隐窝;伴有螺旋厚度过大的隐窝;超过治疗时间窗(≥6个月)的耳廓畸形。所有 6 名患者都取得了良好的矫正效果。结论:单独使用条形耳廓矫形器或将其与 U 形螺旋矫形器结合使用,是矫正复杂耳廓畸形或治疗时间窗外畸形的可行方法。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Otology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research findings from disciplines related to both clinical and basic science aspects of auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal welcomes submissions describing original experimental research that may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying problems of basic or clinical significance and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines. Journal of Otology welcomes contributions from scholars in all countries and regions across the world.
