Here we are presenting a case of 21 month old female child with classical features of this rare condition i.e. microtia, pre auricular sinus, accessory tragus, epicanthal folds and mild facial asymmetry.

We have discussed various aspects of this extremely rare conditionwith emphasis on early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach to managing the same.
