“…Otoplastic surgery can correct a congenital auricular infirmity or can treat deformed ear (caused by injury) [4]. Hence, a detailed knowledge of morphometric parameters of various auricular landmarks in different gender and age groups has become paramount for precise plastic reconstruction [5]. Sharma et al found that the linear ear dimensions increased with advancing age [11].…”

“…Malformations of the external ear as a consequence of hereditary diseases or injuries (following trauma), infection or excision of tumor, etc [3], require surgical intervention or prosthetic replacement [4]. As such, plastic surgeons require detailed information about its complex morphology and normal dimensions to construct and to determine precisely the position and orientation of the auricular framework [5]. During legal investigations, especially in crimes (resulting in fatality) or discovery of unidentified human remains, the jurisprudence requires to gives an opinion regarding personal identification of the deceased [6].…”

“…The present study shows existence of sexual dimorphism in the ear lobe dimensions on both sides, significant differences were observed in right and left sides respectively. DISCUSSION The earlobe occupies a unique position among the structures of the face and is an important region in aesthetic composition of the ear which transmits information about age and gender of an individual [11,12]. Any auricular defect in the form of disproportionate size, abnormal elongation of the auricular lobe, or a missing part is corrected by surgery [13].…”

Background:The ear is an important component of the facial complex. Its size, shape and spatial location on the face are important from an aesthetic point of view. The ear lobule morphometry gives information on age and sex and plays a valuable role in forensic investigation. Ear lobule parameters are studied for the surgical treatment of congenital or acquired deformities, reconstruction and in otomorphology for identification.

ABSTRACT… Objectives:To determine morphometric measurements of external ear among medical students of Nawaz Sharif Medical College, University of Gujrat. Study Design: Cross sectional. Setting: This study was done among students of First & Second year MBBS classes at Nawaz sharif Medical College, University of Gujrat. Period: 2015. Methodology: The study group consisted of 120 girls and 80 boys with age range 18 to 22 (median 20). Total Ear height, lobular height, lobular width and distances of helical root and insertion of the lobule from the lateral palpebral commissure were measured by using vernier caliper. Results: With analysis of normative cross-sectional data, this study endeavors to show anatomic and aesthetic differences between boys and girls. The average total ear height across the study group for both left and right ears was 6.50cm. The average lobular height was 1.9cm. The average lobular width was 2cm. The height of the pinna was significantly larger in boys than girls. The distance between helical root and lateral palpebral commissure was significantly larger among boys as compared to girls. The average height and width of the lobule of boys and girls were statistically insignificant.
