TEXT
Potter (1937)
described a bilateral congenital malformation of
the pinna which is curled up like a cap or cup
concealing the external auditory meatus when the
subject is in lateral profile. Erich
and Abu-Jamra (1965) observed transmission of
the condition through 4 generations (in 17 cases in
8 sibships) and reviewed similar reports. Peterson
and Schimke (1968) observed cup-shaped ears in
members of 5 generations with at least 4 instances
of male-to-male transmission. Their proband had
Pierre Robin syndrome (261800).
The embryology of the auricle and a large amount of
clinical material on various anomalies of the
auricle were presented by Rogers
(1968).
