  • Title: Orthognathic Surgery in Goldenhar Syndrome With a Rare Course of the IAN.
    Author: Moreno SD, Niloy IL, Kim PM, English MC.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; ; 34(1):295-301. PubMed ID: 35949011.
    Abstract:
    Although there are multiple variations of accessory foramina described in the literature, to our knowledge there is only 1 report of an isolated mandibular foramen and inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle that courses through the lateral ramus, particularly in those with branchial arch syndromes. Goldenhar syndrome, of the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, is a rare congenital condition, which most characteristically presents with hemifacial microsomia. Depending on the severity of hemifacial microsomia, there are predictable treatment modalities to correct the consequent facial asymmetry. We report on a patient with Goldenhar syndrome who was found to have a unique course of the inferior alveolar nerve during orthognathic surgery work-up and treatment.
