Lobe, Anterior Crease(s)

Definition:

Subjective: Sharply demarcated, typically linear and approximately horizontal, indentations in the outer surface of the ear lobe

Comments:

Shallow grooves or indentations are quite common, especially in large lobes. Ear lobe creases may arise postnatally [Chitayat et al., [1990]]. Posterior helical pits can be a related finding but should be assessed and coded separately.
