Microtia is a rare congenital condition causing a child to be born with a small, missing, or malformed ear. It is uncommon for microtia to be detected through prenatal ultrasounds.
Since microtia is a disorder that is rarely detected early, limited information is available about the condition and possible treatment options. Still, if you’re a parent of a child with microtia, you would want to learn as much as possible about microtia to help you make the right decision for your child’s well-being.
