Abstract

Otoplasty for prominent ears is the most commonly performed cosmetic operation in children. Otoplasty might result with several complications such as infection, necrosis, outer ear canal stenosis, exposition of sutures, insufficient correction, and overcorrection. This is the first case report of spasmodic torticollis as a complication following an otoplasty procedure.
Level of Evidence: Level V, diagnostic study.
