Abstract :
Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital
condition affecting 1:3500 - 1:5600 with a male to female
ratio of 3:2 births. Goldenhar syndrome is represented
by abnormal development of the eyes, ears, and spine.
Children with Goldenhar syndrome may have partially
formed or absent ears, benign eye growths like
Epibulbar and limbal dermoids and spinal deformities
like scoliosis. The condition may also affect facial
structure and other body organs, with most deformities
affecting only one side of the body.Spine and rib cage
deformities are common, with about half of people with
Goldenhar syndrome having congenital scoliosis. Spine
anomalies can lead to incomplete growth and pulmonary
disorders.Here, we are reporting three cases of
Goldenhar’s syndrome, where almost all the classical
signs of this rare condition were present.
Keywords :
Deformity, Epibulbar Dermoid, Goldenhar’s syndrome, Epicanthusinversus, Duane syndrome.
