Goldenhar syndrome: ocular features.

Abstract

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly which consists of a triad of an ocular dermoid cyst, preauricular skin tags and vertebral dysplasia. We report two cases of Goldenhar syndrome, diagnosed in a 4-year-old girl and in a 20-year-old young adult. The dermoid cyst is a benign tumour with serious ophthalmologic complications.
