Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia: Uncommon Diagnosis in a Patient with Swelling over Pinna

Multiple Epiphyseal Disorder (MED) is a congenital birth disorder presenting with abnormalities of bone and cartilage and is of two types – dominant and recessive. Nearly 50% of individuals with recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (rMED) are born with at least one abnormal feature, including clubfoot, cleft palate, clinodactyly, or ear swelling. A case report of 6-year-old male child with left ear swelling and deafness is presented to highlight the need for maintaining a high index of suspicion for this disorder. A missed or delayed diagnosis of this diagnosis may lead to an erroneous treatment plan
