Abstract

Goldenhar syndrome, a rare developmental craniofacial anomaly, is characterised by abnormal development of first and second branchial arches.The disease represents anomalies of the spine, heart, kidney, central nervous and gastrointestinal system. Among the craniofacial abnormalities, incomplete development of eye, ear, nose, soft palate, lips and jaw are present. The aetiology of this disease is unknown, though it had shown many genetic causes to be involved. Here, we present a case of hemifacialmicrosomia with the clinical and radiographic features of goldenhar syndrome.
