Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction
In 1952 Goldenhar described a case with triad of pre auricular tags, mandibular hypoplasia and ocular (epibulbar) dermoid and described the case as Goldenhar Syndrome.
Case Report
A case of Goldenhar Syndrome without ocular involvement is presented.
Discussion
Goldenhar syndrome is also known as oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia due to presence of additional vertebral anomalies. Exact etiology of this disease is not known. Most of the cases are sporadic, though autosomal recessive/dominant and multifactorial inheritance has also been suggested. Chromosomal analysis shows no abnormalities.
