A Case of External Auditory Canal Atresia

Lipika Gupta, Archit Gupta

Abstract: This article presents a case study of a young boy diagnosed with External Auditory Canal Atresia (EACA), a rare congenital disorder. The patient exhibited conductive hearing loss and other associated abnormalities. High - resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was used for evaluation, revealing EAC atresia and other anomalies. The study underscores the importance of systematic evaluation of ear structures and the role of HRCT in diagnosing EACA.
