Apéndice u hoyuelo preauricular
Definición:
Es un pequeño apéndice de piel u hoyuelo al frente del oÃdo externo.
Nombres alternativos:
Apéndice auricular
Consideraciones generales:
Es común que se presenten apéndices de la piel y hoyuelos justo al frente de la apertura del oÃdo externo en niños recién nacidos.
En la mayorÃa de los casos se trata de hallazgos normales aislados; sin embargo, tanto los apéndices preauriculares como los hoyuelos pueden estar asociados con otras anomalÃas. Es importante comentarle al médico sobre dichos apéndices u hoyuelos durante el examen rutinario del bebé sano.
Causas comunes:
- Tendencia hereditaria a tener este rasgo facial
- Un sÃndrome genético que tiene estos apéndices u hoyuelos preauriculares como una de sus caracterÃsticas
- AnomalÃa en el tracto sinusal (una conexión anormal entre la piel y el tejido subyacente)
