title: [Congenital preauricular sinuses].
abstract: The following presentation of 2 cases give us the chance of making a review of the current situation and the correct handling of the congenital preauricular sinuses. Although some authors consider this pathology within the group of latero-cervical fistulae, we think that they should be individualized. The most frequent sitting is before the helix. They are generally asymptomatic, and it is not strange that the motive of consultation are recurrent infections or following surgery. The treatment consists in complete operative resection.
