Low-set ears and pinna abnormalities. Low-set ears and pinna abnormalities refer to an abnormal shape or position of the outer ear (pinna or auricle). The outer ear or pinna forms when the baby is growing in the mother's womb. The growth of this ear part takes place at a time when many other organs are developing (such as the kidneys). Abnormal changes in the shape or position of the pinna may be a sign that the baby also has other related problems. Common abnormal findings include cysts in the pinna or skin tags.
