Aural atresia is the underdevelopment of the middle ear and canal and usually occurs in conjunction with microtia. Atresia occurs because patients with microtia may not have an external opening to the ear canal, though. However, the cochlea and other inner ear structures are usually present.
Bronchial atresia is a rare congenital disease characterized by segmental or lobar emphysema and, in some cases, mucoid impaction. The exact cause of bronchial atresia is unknown; the lobar bronchi, subsegmental bronchi, and distal bronchioles develop in the fifth, sixth, and sixteenth weeks of fetal development, respectively.
The surgical option is cosmetic reconstruction of the external ear's normal shape and repair of the ear canal. In less severe cases, the reconstruction will be sufficient to restore hearing. In grades of anotia/microtia that affect the middle ear, the surgery with the use of a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) will likely restore the hearing ...
The external auricle of the ear is typically malformed, with possibly severe microtia with atresia of the external auditory canal present. Deafness may occur, but severe hearing loss is uncommon; the occurrence of mild forms of hearing loss may be underestimated due to difficulties associated with accurately evaluating hearing in individuals ...

Microtia Freudenthal, 1976 (preoccupied) Mikrotia is an extinct rodent belonging to the Muridae . It lived during the upper Miocene (about 11.63 - 5 million years ago) and its fossil remains have been found in Italy ( Gargano ).
Molecular genetic Testing determines that FGF3 is the only gene whose mutation can cause congenital deafness with Michel aplasia, microdontia and microtia. Carrier testing for at-risk relatives requires identification of mutations which are responsible for occurrence of disease in the family.
