What's the difference between antihelix and prominence?
Antihelix
Definition:
(n.) The curved elevation of the cartilage of the ear, within or in front of the helix. See Ear.
Example Sentences:

(14) The successful reconstructured auricle should be the result of tackling all components of the deformity, namely, the absence of the antihelix and the aloofing of the concha from the mastoid.
(15) The helix, scaphoid fossa, triangular fossa, concha, antihelix, antitragus, intertragic incisure, and lobule can be seen at the level of the ear.
(16) Clinical examination at 14 years of age revealed a high bulging forehead, broad and flat nasal bridge, large mouth with everted lower lip, folded upper ear helix with protuberant antihelix, pectus excavatum, undescended testes, flat feet, generalized hypotonia and moderate mental retardation.
(17) It is seen less commonly in women and younger individuals, where the anatomic locations may vary to include the antihelix, antitragus, and other areas on the external ear.
(18) In such instances, the thickness of the graft must be considered, ranging from an almost translucent quality for the antihelix to that of a much thicker graft for the helix.
(19) Mustarde's technique and the various anterior scoring methods do not deal with the conchal component of the protruded ear, nor do they give a fully satisfactory formation of the antihelix when one of these methods is used alone.
(20) The antihelix is shaped by two dermosubcutaneous perichondrial flaps; the conchal spring is eased by means of a wedge-shaped cartilage excision in the area of the isthmus of the cartilage or the auricle, while residual protrusion of the lobule is corrected by a Z-plasty.
Prominence
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Prominency
Example Sentences:

V. Shooter, G.H.
(2) Findings on plain X-ray of the abdomen, using the usual parameters of psoas and kidney shadows in the Nigerian, indicate that the two communities studied are similar but urinary calculi and urinary tract distortion are significantly more prominent in the community with the higher endemicity of urinary schistosomiasis.
(3) In some experiments heart rate and minute ventilation (central vactors) appear to be the dominant cues for rated perceived exertion, while in others, local factors such as blood lactate concentration and muscular discomfort seem to be the prominent cues.
(4) These findings may not indicate a redistribution of renal blood flow through resistance changes in specific parts of the renal vasculature but may represent the consequences of focal cortical ischaemia, most prominent in the outer cortex.
(5) Phospholipid changes occurring at later stages in the lytic cycle of infected bacteria are more prominent than those at earlier time intervals.
