Abstract: This report describes a novel form of congenital antihelix deformity. A 2-month-old female presented with an antihelix deformity. Her inferior crus of the antihelix had the third crus, which was smoothly divided from the inferior crus, orienting forward. This type of deformity is not included in the current classification of a third crus deformity; therefore, this is the first report of a novel type of deformity.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
