Abstract

Goldenhar syndrome or oculo-auriculo-vertebral is a rare abnormality affecting the craniofacial region having extracranial manifestations as well. First described by Maurice Goldenhar, its etiology still remains uncertain. We report here the case of a 7-year-old boy with the classic signs of Goldenhar syndrome in the form of accessory tragi, bilateral ocular dermoids, and mandibular hypoplasia (micrognathia).
