Fosita o papiloma preauricular - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Fosita preauricular; Papiloma preauricular

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

El médico generalmente detecta este problema durante el primer examen de control del niño sano. Sin embargo, llame al médico si el niño tiene sangrado, hinchazón o secreción en el sitio.

Lo que se puede esperar en el consultorio médico:

El médico elaborará la historia clínica y llevará a cabo un examen físico.

Las preguntas de la historia clínica acerca de esta afección podrían ser:

  • ¿Cuál es exactamente el problema (papiloma cutáneo, hoyuelo o fosita u otro)?
  • ¿Están afectadas ambas orejas o sólo una?
  • ¿Qué otros síntomas están presentes?
  • ¿Responde el niño normalmente a los sonidos?

Examen físico:

Se examina al bebé en búsqueda de otros signos de trastornos que están algunas veces asociados con fositas y papilomas preauriculares. Igualmente, se puede realizar una audiometría si el examen de tamizaje usual del recién nacido no se llevó a cabo.
