Q17.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify microtia. Synonyms: akinesia, atresia of nasolacrimal duct, bilateral congenital malformation of ears, bilateral.
Microtia can be unilateral (one side only) or bilateral (affecting both sides). Microtia occurs in 1 out of about 8,000–10,000 births. In unilateral microtia, the right ear is most commonly affected.
Microtia is often associated with the absence of the external auditory canal (canal atresia or aural atresia) or an extremely narrow ear canal (canal stenosis). Classically, microtia is classified into four grades, ranging from mild malformation to the complete absence of the external ear (Figure 1).
