Preauricular Pit Causes - Five Possibilities To Consider | Preauricular Pits Reasons
In this video I will tell you abo preauricular pit is a small hole or cyst just in front of your ear above your ear canal. This hole marks a sinus tract under the skin that’s in the wrong place. These tracts can vary in size. Some people have a short tract while others have a longer one with lots of branches. There’s usually only one pit and it’s commonly on the right side. Most people don’t realize they have a pit until they have a routine ear, nose, and throat examination or some kind of infection. Preauricular pits are congenital. This means you’re born with one when your ear doesn’t fully develop before birth. It’s a common condition and is considered harmless. Your doctor might look for other irregularities if they notice your newborn baby has a pit.
