AB A  newborn  male,  day  of  life  0,  presented  with  respiratory  distress  requiring  intubation.  He  was  noted  to  have  low  set  ears,  micrognathia,  and  a  cleft  palate.  Upon  closer  examination,  he  was  also  noted  to  have  a  right-sided  complete  aural  atresia  and  the  left  canal  is  stenotic.  His  midface  appeared  hypoplastic  and  he  was  noted  to  have  a  cleft  palate.  A  genetics  consult  was  obtained  and  the  patient  was  diagnosed  with  Treacher  Collins  syndrome  (Figure  34-1).  Surgical  repair  of  palate  was  performed  at  10  months  of  age,  and  a  softband  bone  conduction  device  was  provided  in  infancy  for  hearing  habilitation.  The  family  was  counseled  regarding  ultimate  options  for  reconstruction  of  microtia  and  aural  atresia.
