Síndrome de Goldenhar: A propósito de un caso

Abstract

Goldenhar syndrome is part of the spectrum of anomalies of the first and second branchial arch. It is a rare congenital entity characterized by the association of eye, headphones, mandibular and vertebral abnormalities, and whose etiology remains unknown. Here we describe the case of a newborn who has compatible clinical findings, including the association of unilateral conjunctival lipodermoid, preauricular tags, hemifacial hypoplasia and hypoplastic ears. Likewise, a brief review based on all the cases that have so far appeared in the literature is made.
