Area of Science:
- Craniofacial development
- Genetics and developmental biology
- Audiology and otolaryngology
Context:
- Goldenhar syndrome, also known as oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, presents with complex congenital anomalies.
- Abnormalities typically involve the first and second branchial arches, impacting facial structures, eyes, spine, and ears.
- Associated hearing loss is a significant concern in affected individuals.
Purpose:
- To provide a comprehensive literature review of Goldenhar syndrome.
- To discuss the clinical phenotype, etiology, and audiological findings.
- To offer guidance on diagnosis, genetic counseling, and hearing interventions.
Summary:
- Goldenhar syndrome is characterized by developmental alterations of the first and second branchial arches.
- Key features include facial, ocular, spinal, and auricular abnormalities, with potential hearing loss.
- This review synthesizes current knowledge on the syndrome's presentation, causes, and management.
Impact:
- Aids clinicians in diagnosing Goldenhar syndrome.
- Informs genetic counseling for affected families.
- Guides audiological assessment and hearing intervention strategies.
