Abstract
Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that involves the first and second branchial arches. It manifests mainly with asymmetric incomplete facial development, ear malformations, epibulbar dermoids and/or coloboma, and vertebral anomalies. It is characterized by a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Systemic anomalies may be associated. The etiology is still unclear. Ear malformations and hearing loss are very common. Early identification of auricular abnormalities is crucial in order to prevent secondary language and cognitive developmental delays. The purpose of this case report is to describe the clinical presentation of Goldenhar syndrome in a 4-year-old female child who presented with language delay and to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of ear abnormalities and hearing loss.
