Background: The ear due to its angulated position from the side of the head is exposed to multiple types of injuries. Most of the these ear injuries are either lacerations (common) or avulsive (far less common) in nature. In either case there are ample normal and supple tissues on or around the ear to perform Read More…

Besides the brow bone prominences in a male, no bumps or protrusions should be present in the rest of the forehead of either male or female. When one develops a forehead prominence later in life, even if it is small, it becomes Read More…
