    Abstract:
    Goldenhar syndrome, also known as oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia, is an uncommon condition, characterized by a combination of anomalies: epibulbar dermoids or lipodermoids, preauricular appendices, malformation of the ears, hemifacial microsomia, vertebral anomalies, and others. The etiology of this disease has remained unclear; factors including chromosomal abnormalities, maternal diabetes mellitus or drug use, and influence of environment during pregnancy have been proposed. Here, we describe a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a 1-day-old female newborn, who presented with right external ear atresia, left preauricular appendices, cleft-like extension of the right oral angle, mandibular hypoplasia and relatively small hands. The literature on Goldenhar syndrome is briefly reviewed.
