Helix, Cleft
Definition:
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Objective: Defect in the continuity of the helix, which may occur at any point along its length
Comments: This may take the form of a sharp cleft as in Figure 4a, or a less well-demarcated area as in the outer upper portion of Figure 4b. This should be distinguished from a Question-mark ear. If the defect or notch occurs at the junction of the superior and descending portions of the helix, it should be coded as Darwin notch of the helix.
