Abstract
Goldenhar syndrome (GHS) is also known as ‘Oculo-auriculo-vertebral syndrome’(OAV).[1]Itis a spectrum of rare disorder which is apparent at birth. Dating back in 1950s it was initially comprised of malformations of ears and ocular abnormalities, only in 1963, the vertebral abnormalities were included as a sign of this syndrome. It is characterised by combination of anomalies like limbaldermoid, epibulbar cysts, auricular appendices, malformation of ears and hypoplasia of bones of mandible.
