title: Auricular sinus.
abstract: A total of 56 subjects with auricular sinuses were investigated at the ENT clinic of University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) from April 1986 to April 1987. Infection was the main complaint, accounting for 60% of the cases. Chinese formed the majority of the patients (51%) and the commonest age group was between 1 to 10 years. Multiple anomalies were seen more amongst the Indians and none were noted among the Chinese subjects. Hearing loss was noted in 6% of the cases. Only infected cases were operated and none showed recurrence.
