Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Ear shapes.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- Was the abnormal ear shape present at birth? - may suggest DiGeorge's syndrome (misshapen ears), Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti, Coffin-Lowry syndrome (large ears).
- Is the ear shape abnormality unilateral or bilateral? - if unilateral the cause would likely be acquired after birth due to trauma or infection.
- Has there been trauma of the ear lobe or pinna of the ear? - trauma to the pinna of the ear (e.g. via contact sports) may result in a haematoma (localized mass of clotted blood) and later perichondritis (inflammation of the pinna cartilage) or abscess formation. If the haematoma or abscess is not surgically drained correctly it will result in a "cauliflower ear" deformity due to destruction of the cartilage.
