Goldenhar Syndrome

Goldenhar syndrome (Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral Spectrum) (OAVS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by craniofacial abnormalities associated with anomalies of the spine, heart, kidney, central nervous and gastrointestinal system. Craniofacial abnormalities include the incomplete development of the eye, ear, nose, soft palate, lips and jaw. We report a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a 14-years-old male patient. There are no other identified cases of congenital diseases in the patient's family history. At the age of 2, the patient was operated for complete right cleft lip and cleft palate dehiscence and it was then, that the suspicion for Goldenhar syndrome was harboured.
