Abstract
Hereditary malformations of the external ear, such as microtia and meatal atresia, not associated with other congenital defects or syndromes, are rarely reported. Only a few familial cases have been described in which both dominant and recessive inheritance has been suggested. We report a sibship in which a wide variation of expression is present and recessive inheritance can be postulated.
