Goldenhar Syndrome – A Case Report
Keywords:
Epibulbar dermoid, Micrognathia, Preauricular tagsAbstract
Goldenhar syndrome also called as oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia, is a rare syndrome developing from first and second pharyngeal arches during blastogenesis. This condition was documented in 1952 by Maurice Goldenhar. The syndrome is characterised by multiple anamolies of the ocular, auricular, cardia, skeletal and nervous system. Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberration seen in this syndrome. Multi-disciplinary approach should be undertaken by several departments in evaluating such patients.
