Patient's question:
You, my son has a congenital preauricular fistula. In addition to a congenital hemangioma on his tongue, his grandmother also has a sarcoma. The preauricular fistula is in the same position. Besides the bent little finger, his father also has a bent finger, but his father doesn't have a preauricular fistula. However, his father has one ear that is deaf. I want to ask if my son's congenital diseases have a genetic possibility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of congenital preauricular fistula is due to incomplete fusion of the second branchial groove during embryonic development, which can lead to infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment. If it is a congenital preauricular fistula, surgical treatment can be performed. The above is the advice for the question "Is it possible for my son to have a congenital preauricular fistula due to heredity?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
