Cavum rotation

Cavum rotation is a term used in surgery for protruding ears. By this is meant that the ear with seams between the cartilage of the concha cavum and the periosteum (periosteum) of the skull run, is turned towards the head. As a result, the protruding ear approaches the head with its middle and lower third.
