Goldenhar syndrome- A case report

Goldenhar syndrome is a birth defect resulting from the maldevelopment of the first two branchial arches with the incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip and mandible. Goldenhar syndrome is a rare inherited condition, which has a multifactorial ethiopathology that includes nutritional and environmental factors which can result in developmental disturbances. Goldenhar first described this condition in 1952 as a disease that presents a combination of several anomalies such as microtia, hemifacial microsomia, pre-auricular skin tags, epibulbar dermoids, and vertebral malformations. In this case report we report a case of 30 year old male patient with a mild variant of Goldenhar syndrome with review of literature.
