Las exóstosis de Conducto Auditivo Externo (CAE) son formaciones óseas benignas muy frecuentes entre los practicantes de deportes acuáticos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es observar la prevalencia de exóstosis entre surfistas de lacosta guipuzcoana y estudiar la correlación existente entre eltiempo dedicado al deporte y la prevalencia severidad de lasexóstosis. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio transversal y seha entregado un cuestionario a 41 surfistas a los que luego se harealizado un examen otoscópico. De los 41 surfistas 25 teníanexóstosis (61%) y la prevalencia era significativamente mayor (p<0,05) en aquéllos que llevaban practicando el deporte más de10 años que los que llevaban menos de 10 años. La severidadtambién era mayor entre los del primer grupo (p < 0,05). Las horas dedicadas al deporte también han mostrado resultados similares. Sólo 1 de los 25 (4%) casos ha requerido una intervenciónquirúrgica.
