Abstract

Goldenhar's syndrome or oculoauriculovertebral spectrum is a very rare disease, with characteristic oculo-auriculo-vertebral triad of abnormalities. In addition to craniofacial anomalies, there may be cardiac, genitourinary, skeletal and central nervous system defects. We report here a newborn presented with hypoplasia of depressor anguli oris muscle, microtia, vertebral fusion abnormality, pes equinovarus deformity and ventricular septal defect and diagnosed oculoauriculovertebral spectrum. In conclusion, Goldenhar’s syndrome may be observed in patients with ear anomalies and facial anomalies. The cases should be evaluated in terms of anomalies that may accompany.
