What to Expect at your Health Care Provider's Office
The health care provider will obtain your child's medical history. Medical history questions may include:
- When did you first notice the earlobe creases?
- What other symptoms or abnormalities have you also noticed?
A physical examination will be performed to determine if there are abnormalities present that may indicate the presence of a rare disorder. If other symptoms or abnormalities are noted, diagnostic tests may be ordered. The specific test will depend on the disorder that is suspected
