On the cranial surface of the pinna elevations correspond to the concha and to the fossae 792 of the helix and antihelix. |
Both auricles were prominent, with the superior crus of each ear extending at a right angle from the antihelix. |
A 29-year-old woman presented with an unusual lesion on the right auricular antihelix. |
The sound waves are also reflected into the helix rim by the thickened antihelix from whence it follows the longer route to the ear canal. |
An inner, concentric ridge, the antihelix, surrounds the concha and is separated from the helix by a furrow, the scapha, also called the fossa of the helix. |
Overall, CDNH is more common in men, although lesions of the antihelix are more common in women. |
