Helix, Underfolded

Definition:

Subjective: Underdevelopment of the helix that either affects the entire helix, or is localized

Comments:

Helix folding is highly variable, and the range is illustrated in the Figures 2 and 3 from Helix, Cleft. To use this term, the affected area must be too long to be considered a Cleft helix. Underdevelopment of part of the helix can lead to the impression that the scaphal area is enlarged.

Replaces:
