Condition

Goldenhar Syndrome Henifacial Microsomia

Goldenhar Syndrome, also known as oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by facial and craniofacial abnormalities. It typically involves underdevelopment of the ear, resulting in hearing loss, as well as jaw and facial asymmetry, eye abnormalities, and spinal defects. Hemifacial Microsomia is a condition in which one side of the face is smaller or underdeveloped or has parts that are missing.

Common Symptoms

Facial asymmetry, with one side of the face appearing smaller or underdeveloped. Ear abnormalities, such as microtia or hearing loss, are often present. Eye abnormalities, including ptosis, coloboma, or anisocoria, may also be observed. Jaw abnormalities, such as micrognathia or retrognathia, can affect the lower jaw. Other features can include spinal defects like scoliosis, cleft lip or palate, heart defects, and kidney abnormalities. It’s important to remember that the specific combination and severity of symptoms can vary among individuals with Goldenhar syndrome.
