M aurice Goldenhar in 1952 described Goldenhar syndrome (GS). It is also called oculoauriculovertebral syndrome, facioauriculovertebral syndrome [1]. GS is due to the first and second brachial arch developmental abnormalities [2-4]. GS belongs to a group of conditions together known as craniofacial microsomia. Incidence of GS is about 1:5600-1:45,000 live births with male-to-female proportion of 3:2 [4-6]. However, there is no reported incidence available in India. Clinical presentation ranges from mild facial asymmetry to significant facial defects with internal organs and skeletal system involvement of varying degree of severity. Although unilateral facial abnormalities are commonly seen, 10-33% of the individuals can have a bilateral facial presentation [7]. The most predominant manifestations include mandibular hypoplasia, microtia, preauricular tags, and conductive hearing loss. Other abnormalities such as masticatory muscle hypoplasia and vertebral anomalies may be seen in more than 50% of cases. Coloboma involving iris, eyelids, preauricular pits, dental hypoplasia, and frontal plagiocephaly can also occur. Cardiac anomalies and other associated craniofacial anomalies such as cleft lip or cleft palate will account for prevalence <30%, whereas sensory-neural hearing loss, pulmonary, genitourinary, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and limb abnormalities account for a prevalence <15% [7]. Findings of short stature, delayed psychomotor development, speech disorders, psychosocial problems, and autistic behaviors are also recorded in GS [4]. Craniofacial microsomia often overlap with other syndromes, developmental anomalies, and sequences such as vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac anomalies, trachea-esophageal atresia, renal anomalies, and limb anomalies, coloboma, heart, atresia choanae, retardation of growth and development, and genitourinary and ear anomalies, Mullerian ducts anomalies, unilateral renal, cervicothoracic, and somite structures, and omphalocele, exstrophy of the cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal anomalies. The goals of treatment involve adequate respiratory support and sufficient feeding, to maximize the hearing and communication, improve facial symmetry, and optimize dental occlusion by appropriate surgical repair. CASE REPORT The baby boy presented with complaints of respiratory distress, refusal to feed, decreased urine output, and faulty feeding. The baby presented to a low resource, tertiary care hospital in Northern India. He was born of non-consanguineous marriage belonging to lower socioeconomic class and was apparently well before day 33. No significant antenatal and family history was noted but history of premature normal vaginal delivery with low
