Low-set ears is a term used to describe a depressed positioning of the pinna which is two standard deviations (or more) outside of what would be expected.[1]
It can be associated with conditions such as Down's syndrome and Turner Syndrome.[2]
It is usually bilateral, but can be unilateral in Goldenhar syndrome.[3]
