Congenital Scoliosis with Goldenhar's syndrome A case report

Abstract

Goldenhar's syndrome (oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia) is a rare congenital malformation and consists of epibulbar dermoids and anomalies of the external ear and vertebra.
We report a 4 years old girl with Goldenhar's syndrome who has congenital malformation of skull, ear, hart, vertebra and facial nerve palsy.
She was treated with excision of a hemivertebra with non-incarcerated type because her thoracolumbar courve increased from 38° to 57° during two years.
Ten days after the operation, a corrective under arm cast was applied.
Good correction has been obtained with the procedure.
