| Summary: | The complex and rare condition known as Goldenhar syndrome (GHS) is characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, ear abnormalities, ocular dermoid and vertebral problems, and hemi facial macrosomia. The age of the patient and any systemic clinical manifestations will determine the treatment plan, which frequently calls for a multidisciplinary approach. This case study details a 9-year-old boy who presented to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr R Ahmed Dental College and Hospital, Kolkata, with ear tags, ocular dermoid, and mandibular hypoplasia. The diagnosis was made using mainly the clinical features. Since GHS is a developmental disorder that can affect a patient's quality of life in many areas, treatment must begin as soon as the child is born. |
