GOLDENHAR’S SYNDROME: CASE REPORT
Abstract
A case of Goldenhar’s Syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia) in a 3-day-old
Nigerian neonate with right anophthalmos and lipodermoid, left Iimbal dermoid,
bilateral preauricular appendages and mandibular hypoplasia is presented. The
lipodermoid was attached to the tarsal conjunctiva of the lower lid of the anophthalmic
side. The causative factor was presumably maternal drug (traditional medicine) ingestion
at three months gestation. No similar case has been reported previously. The literature
on Goldenhar’s Syndrome is briefly reviewed.
