Ear, Focal Absence

Definition:

Objective: Absence of a localized portion of the ear, when that cannot be described by a more precise term (e.g., absent ear lobe)

Comments:

This definition is in the terminology set to acknowledge that there may be particular instances of absent structures not captured by the included terms. The specific affected area should be noted. For example, focal absence of the triangular fossa.
