“…When unilateral, with a contralateral normal earing level, earing rehabilitation is not systematic and could be delayed until school age or might be unnecessary if the language is correctly developed. For some authors, bone conduction hearing devices should be offered to all patients with unilateral aural atresia regardless of their age 104. During the first years of life, those devices are simply applied on a bone structure (temporal bone, frontal bone, mastoid) with a headband.…”

Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum: new genes and literature review on a complex disease

et al. 2022

Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) or Goldenhar syndrome is due to an abnormal development of first and second branchial arches derivatives during embryogenesis and is characterised by hemifacial microsomia associated with auricular, ocular and vertebral malformations. The clinical and genetic heterogeneity of this spectrum with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity, render its molecular diagnosis difficult. Only a few recurrent CNVs and genes have been identified as causatives in this complex disorder so far. Prenatal environmental causal factors have also been hypothesised. However, most of the patients remain without aetiology. In this review, we aim at updating clinical diagnostic criteria and describing genetic and non-genetic aetiologies, animal models as well as novel diagnostic tools and surgical management, in order to help and improve clinical care and genetic counselling of these patients and their families.
