Evaluation of Stahl's ear, third crus of antihelix.
In our unit, 38 patients with Stahl's ear were seen in thirteen years. We found no characteristic distribution, in terms of either sex or affected side. We classified the condition into four types, and corrected it by excision of a narrow strip of cartilage and mattress sutures or in some cases by turning over the elliptical cartilage.
