Case description

This patient has developed a severe stenosis of the external ear canal at the junction between the cartilaginous and bony portions. The remaining lumen which is approximately 1 mm in diameter is occluded with cerumen. There is no longer any evidence of the chronic otitis externa and abuse which was responsible for this stenosis, it will continue to be a problem requiring repeated gentle atraumatic debridement.
