Okuloaurikulovertebral Spektrum (Goldenhar Sendromu)

Goldenhar syndrome or oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS) is characterized by preauricular skin tags, microtia, facial asymmetry, ocular abnormalities and vertebral anomalies of different size and shape. The presence of anomalies of the ear is necessary for diagnosis. In addition to craniofacial anomalies, there may be cardiac, genitourinary and central nervous system defects. This syndrome is usually thought to be caused by abnormalities of the first and second branchial arches. The phenotypical findings of this syndrome are variable due to heterogenous etiology. We report here a newborn with OAVS presented with left hemifacial microsomia, hypoplasia of depressor anguli oris muscle, microtia, deafness and ventricular septal defect and diognosed OAVS.
