Oculo-auriculo-vertebral Dysplasia (Goldenhar's syndrome)

Abstract

Two cases of oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar's syndrome) are reported because of the extreme rarity of the condition. The first case was a five-month old male twin infant who had the ocular, auricular and vertebral manifestations of the syndrome. The second case was a nine-day old male infant with several features of the auricular component of the syndrome. The baby also had some degree of lumbar spinal curvature, presumed to be caused by vertebral anomalies.
