“…Another group of authors suggested a different type of wedge skin and cartilage excision for the elimination of the third crus, with primary closure of the defect through cartilage-cutting techniques. 3,8,12,14 Although helical rim fold formation was addressed in some cases, 5,6,8,10 both of these basic approaches focus mainly on the elimination of the third crus; they generally do not emphasize the use of a single-session combined surgery for the creation of a superior crus (or they do not require it because the hypoplastic superior crus is already in place) 3,[11][12][13]16 and the reduction in scapha size. Therefore, several techniques described in the literature are not applicable to all the variations of Stahl ear due to different presentations of the deformity.…”

Stahl ear is usually associated with the existence of a third crus that traverses the scapha. The absence of the superior crus of the antihelix, a broadened scapha, and unfolded, long helical rim may contribute to the formation of the deformity. The method presented in this article is a combined technique intended to recreate the absent superior crus using the third crus as a cartilage flap along with elimination of the third crus, reducing the scapha size, and correcting helical rim deformities by skin and cartilage excisions. One bilateral and three unilateral cases were operated on with this technique (five auricles). The first unilateral cases were performed without scapha reduction and helix correction which was used in the other three cases with successful results. This procedure can be used to correct Stahl ear variations in the case of an absent superior crus when a third crus is present, the scapha is of increased size, and the helix is long without a fold.

Stahl syndrome, known also as "Satiro's ear", is a deformation of the auricle described in the nineteeth century by Stahl who included it in a classification of various deformities of ear:-Helix transversus spleniformis-Crus anthelicis trifurcata-Crus superior turgidumAt present Stahl's ear is included in the second group for the abnonnal cartilaginous pleat which extends from the Crus anthelix to the edge of elix deforming in this way the regular curvature of ear and amplifying the triangular hole. It's frequently associated to other aesthetic deformities of the auricle itself and above all among oriental peoples; the pathogenetic origin of this deformation has to be connected with an hereditary, familial character confirmed by the diffusion of this deformation among the members of the same family, reaching its highest expression in identical twins where its manifestation is about at seventy-five percent. Besides the hereditary-familial hypothesis, we find a second hypothesis according to which the cartilaginous deformity is connected with an altered growth of an instrinsic muscle of ear, the transverse muscle [1,4]. The solution of the problem is surgical, through the Chongcet technique [9], modified and applied in the post-operating using particular remedies.
