Abstract

Survival of the ear based on a single vascular pedicle has been previously documented. The anatomic basis for this survival remains incompletely described. In the 3 clinical cases of inferior-to-superior near-total ear avulsion presented herein, the authors have observed that the ear can survive based on a narrow pedicle along the helical root. In an anatomic study to further investigate the relevant vascular anatomy, the common carotid artery system of 6 fresh human cadaver specimens was injected with latex. The superficial temporal artery and its branches located at the helical root were examined. This anatomic study showed that the upper auricular branch of the superficial temporal artery continues into the ear as the helical artery supplies an arterial arcade, which we have termed the helical arcade. This arcade seems to allow for communication between the anterior and posterior arterial systems of the ear and allows the helical artery to provide sufficient arterial supply to the entire ear.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • An incomplete ear avulsion can survive with direct re-attachment as long as an attachment via the helical root is maintained.

    “According to Erdmann et al., an IEA can survive with DR as long as an attachment via the helical root is maintained.[2]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
