Introduction

Goldenhar Syndrome (Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral Syndrome – OAVS) with hemifacial microsomia is a rare congenital anomaly involving the first and second branchial arches.

It is a disorder where the patient’s facial features are incompletely developed on one side, resulting in eye, ear, and jaw abnormalities. In 85% of patients with Goldenhar Syndrome, only one side of the face is affected. Cervical spine vertebral deformities are part of the collection of symptoms.1
