This study reports a rare case of oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, also known as Goldenhar syndrome, identified in a newborn. The case uniquely includes iliac hypoplasia, absent pubic and ischial ossification, and posterior urethral valves, expanding the known spectrum of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and developmental biology
  • Pediatric medicine
  • Congenital anomalies

Background:

  • Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS), encompassing hemifacial microsomia and Goldenhar syndrome, is a complex congenital disorder.
  • Previous literature has not documented the specific combination of skeletal and genitourinary anomalies observed in this case within the OAVS spectrum.

Observation:

  • A neonate presented with features consistent with OAVS shortly after birth.
  • Clinical examination revealed right iliac hypoplasia, absence of right pubic and ischial ossification centers, and posterior urethral valves.

Findings:

  • This case highlights a novel association of severe skeletal dysplasia (iliac hypoplasia, absent ossification centers) and posterior urethral valves with OAVS.
  • The findings expand the phenotypic variability and diagnostic considerations for OAVS.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation in neonates diagnosed with OAVS to identify potentially associated anomalies.
  • Further research may elucidate the underlying genetic or developmental pathways linking these diverse malformations.
  • Recognition of this expanded spectrum can improve diagnostic accuracy and management strategies for affected infants.
