Abstract
A case of bilateral convex conchae in otherwise normal ears is reported. As far as we are aware, such a deformity has not been reported in the literature. A technique of surgical correction by excision of a crescent of conchal cartilage is described. Relevant embryologic development of the auricle is reviewed.
