Case description

The horizontal "wrinkles" seen in the deep canal epithelium are the result of normal migration that occurs as part of the self cleansing properties of the external ear canal epithelium. As the superficial epithelial layer is "migrating" laterally, as the epithelium pushes up against the hairs of the outer external canal, these horizontal wrinkles may occasionally be seen. This is a normal feature.
