| Abstract: | This is a report on a case of Goldenhar syndrome. It shows the usual association of auricular appendages, epibulbar dermoid and vertebral abnormalities. A case of oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia is described: a girl, now aged 12, was reported at birth to have two “supernumerary ears”, two nodular appendages in front of the tragus of the left ear. The two nodules were eventually excised; however, she was operated again for a growth in the canthus of the left eye. Examination showed the presence of a greyish red dermolipoma, occupying the whole extent of the outer canthus for a distance of 5 mm from the angle. There was no impairment of movement of the external Rectus. Apparently, the growth has passed unnoticed for all these years and lately has increased in size. |
