Anotia/microtia is an ear condition marked by absence of one or both ears or the malformation or small external ear.Identifying babies born with birth defects and collecting information about them is a first step in preventing birth defects. Florida is among the many states with a birth defects tracking system. This data, as part of the national picture, helps us find out where and when birth defects occur and who they affect.
In 2016-20, the rate per 10,000 live births with Anotia/Microtia in Alachua County, could not be generated because there were too few cases compared to 1.5 statewide.
