RESUMEN
La petrificación auricular es un hallazgo infrecuente en el que las orejas se tornan total o parcialmente rígidas. La causa más frecuente es la calcificación del cartílago auricular e infrecuentemente la osificación auricular. La osificación puede deberse a hipotermia, factores físicos, procesos inflamatorios y distintas endocrinopatías. La hipotermia grave es la causa más frecuente. Se presenta un caso de osificación bilateral del cartílago auricular secundario a hipotermia
ABSTRACT
Auricular petrification is an infrequent finding in which the ears become completely or partially rigid. The most frequent cause is the calcification of the auricular cartilage and, infrequently, auricular ossification. Ossification may be due to hypothermia, physical factors, inflammatory processes and different endocrinopathies. Severe hypothermia is the most frequent cause. We present a case of bilateral ossification of the auricular cartilage secondary to hypothermia
