The features are unilateral deformity of the external ear and small ipsilateral half of the face with epibulbar lipodermoid and vertebral anomalies. Coloboma of the upper eyelid is frequent. The ear deformities range from preauricular tags of cartilagenous masses, to atresia of the external auditory canal, anomalies in the size and shape of the external auricle, and even to anotia … most cases are sporadic and a few families consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance have been reported, other families clearly support autosomal dominant inheritance … described a kindred with 9 affected persons in 3 generations and 3 instances of male - to - male transmission … Soltan and Holmes (1986) suggested a link between genetic causes and vascular disruption … Setzer et al. (1981) reported 2 pairs of discordant monozygotic twins and an instance of affected mother and son and mother's sister. They suggested genetic heterogeneity. Discordant monozygotic twins were reported by Burck (1983) … Connor and Fernandez (1984), who considered hemifacial microsomia to be identical with Goldenhar syndrome, reported discordant monozygotic twins … Some 20 twin pairs in all have been reported in which at least 1 member exhibited the features of Goldenhar syndrome. All of the 5 monozygotic twin pairs for which placental information was available have been discordant and 2 of these had dichorionic membranes …

… a spectrum of morphogenetic abnormalities involving structures derived from the first and second branchial arches … second most common facial birth defect after cleft lip and palate. Fourteen terms describing this malformation complex can be found in the literature including First and Second Branchial Arch Syndrome, Hemifacial Microsomia, and Goldenhar - Gorlin Syndrome. Goldenhar Syndrome is now considered a variant of craniofacial microsomia … Craniofacial Microsomia has an incidence reported between 1/3500 to 1/26, 550 live births. The male and female and right to left sided ratios are both 3:2. Bilateral involvement occurs in roughly ten percent of cases … in 1973, Poswillo attributed the development of facial deformities consistent with craniofacial microsomia to disruption of the stapedial artery … Robinson in 1987 supported Poswillo's theory by demonstrating carotid flow abnormalities in two and defects related to vascular disruption in a third child with craniofacial microsomia … Treatment of craniofacial microsomia is individualized …

Gene Map Locus: 7p … The left side of the face is affected in a majority of cases of hemifacial microsomia … The disorder may be basically the same (thomas, 1980) as the Goldenhar syndrome … which lacks the limb anomaly. Hemifacial microsomia with radial limb defects may be a distinct entity. Moeschler and Clarren (1982) described a young girl with oral cleft, multiple preauricular ear tags and pits, and skin tags along the mandibular angle, all on the right side … Clarren (1982) also reported 2 sporadic cases; … Hodes et al. (1981) described a patient with Goldenhar syndrome and ipsilateral radial defect, in whom fibroblasts from the affected right arm showed trisomy 7 mosaicism whereas those from the unaffected left arm showed a normal karyotype …

… from the Naval Health Research Center and collaborators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was published Dec. 1 in the scientific journal "Teratology." … initiated in October 1995 in response to Gulf War veterans' concerns about a possible excess of Goldenhar syndrome among their infants. Goldenhar syndrome is a rare birth defect characterized by eye, jaw, and spine malformations. The study included 75,414 infants who were conceived after the Gulf War and were born in military hospitals prior to October 1, 1993. The rate of the syndrome among infants of Gulf War veterans was 14.7 per 100,000 (five cases in 34,069 infants), compared to a rate of 4.8 per 100,000 among infants of veterans who did not deploy to the Gulf (two cases in 41,345 infants). However, this result is inconclusive. Because of the small number of cases (seven) …

It is possible that Goldenhar Syndrome (Oculo Auriculo Vertebral Spectrum) may not be the name that you expected. Your physician may have given you another name for this disease. Please check the synonyms listed below to find other names for this specific disorder. … Although in most cases, such malformations affect one side of the body (unilateral), approximately 10 to 33 percent of affected individuals have such malformations on both sides of the body (bilateral), with one side typically more affected than the other (asymmetry). In the majority of such cases, the right side is more severely affected than the left … In most cases, Goldenham Syndrome (OAV Spectrum) appears to occur randomly, with no apparent cause (sporadic) ...
