Department of Anatomy, Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Agalakote, Tumkur, Karnataka, India. ABSTRACT Goldenhar Syndrome also called as oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia,is a rare syndrome developing from first and second pharyngeal arches during Blastogenesis.This condition was documented in 1952 by Maurice Goldenharr.The syndrome is charecterised by multiple anomalies of the ocular,auricular,cardiac,skeletal and nervous system.Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberration seen in this syndrome.Multi disciplinary approach should be undertaken by several departments in evaluating such patients.

Goldenhar syndrome (GHS) also called as Goldenhar syndrome has a wide range of Oculoauriculo vertebral dysplasia or hemi facial manifestations including craniofacial, vertebral, microsomia, was first described by Von Arlt in cardiac, renal and central nervous system 1845. It was defined precisely by Goldenhar in anomalies. The classic facial aspect of 1952 as a syndrome characterized by Goldenhar syndrome is described as hemi anomalies like dermal & epibulbar cysts, facial microsomia. The typical presentation of auricular appendices & malformation of the Goldenhar syndrome includes epibulbar ears. In 1963, Gorlin & Pinberg identified the dermoids, microtia, mandibular hypoplasia, vertebral anomalies associated with Goldenhar strabismus, most probably caused by develop- syndrome & named the syndrome as mental defects of first & second branchial “Occuloauriculo vertebral” syndrome [1].

  • ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes RELATED to HEARING and VESTIBULAR DISORDERS
    2021 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes RELATED TO HEARING AND VESTIBULAR DISORDERS Audiology Dedicated to Advancing the Profession of Audiology General Information The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) developed this curated list of 2021 International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) diagnosis codes for audiologists reporting hearing and vestibular disorders. The 2021 ICD-10- CM is effective October 1, 2020. This resource is not exhaustive, and a number of codes and sections are included for information purposes only. Entries with only three or four digits may require coding to a higher degree of specificity than indicated here. However, in general, audiology related diagnoses are listed to their highest level of specificity. Visit ASHA’s coding and payment website for additional ICD-10-CM resources at www.asha.org/Practice/reimbursement/coding/ICD-10/.
