Discussion The combination of several features such as micro- tia, hemifacial microsomia, lateral facial cleft, epibulbar dermoid and upper eye lid coloboma is described as oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAV).[1] The pres- ence of otic hypoplasia, lateral facial cleft and vertebral Figure 1: Shows the left sided facial paralysis anomalies are the minimum criteria for the diagnosis of Goldenhar syndrome. The incidence of Goldenhar syn- drome is extremely rare.[3] The etiology is not known, but is thought to be due to exposure to viruses or chemi- cals during pregnancy, due to abnormal vascular sup- ply to the first arch and abnormality of mesoblastic de- velopment affecting the formation of vertebral and bran- chial systems.[4] Some researchers suggest that the dis- order may be due to interaction of many genes with environmental factors (multifactorial inheritance).[4-6] Approximately 5000 children are born every year in United States with significant hearing impairment.[1] Goldenhar syndrome associated with deafness is rare and in most cases it occurs randomly without any ap- parent cause. Most cases are sporadic, but family his- tory was also observed in certain cases.

  • Bedside Neuro-Otological Examination and Interpretation of Commonly
    J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 on 24 November 2004. Downloaded from BEDSIDE NEURO-OTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION AND INTERPRETATION iv32 OF COMMONLY USED INVESTIGATIONS RDavies J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2004;75(Suppl IV):iv32–iv44. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 he assessment of the patient with a neuro-otological problem is not a complex task if approached in a logical manner. It is best addressed by taking a comprehensive history, by a Tphysical examination that is directed towards detecting abnormalities of eye movements and abnormalities of gait, and also towards identifying any associated otological or neurological problems. This examination needs to be mindful of the factors that can compromise the value of the signs elicited, and the range of investigative techniques available. The majority of patients that present with neuro-otological symptoms do not have a space occupying lesion and the over reliance on imaging techniques is likely to miss more common conditions, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), or the failure to compensate following an acute unilateral labyrinthine event. The role of the neuro-otologist is to identify the site of the lesion, gather information that may lead to an aetiological diagnosis, and from there, to formulate a management plan. c BACKGROUND Balance is maintained through the integration at the brainstem level of information from the vestibular end organs, and the visual and proprioceptive sensory modalities. This processing takes place in the vestibular nuclei, with modulating influences from higher centres including the cerebellum, the extrapyramidal system, the cerebral cortex, and the contiguous reticular formation (fig 1).

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Two unusual cases of congenital bilateral ear deformity have been presented. The deformity is characterized by upper auricular detachment on the right side with anotia on the left side in the first case and upper auricular detachment on the left side with normal ear on the right side in the second case. An attempt has been made to correlate the presented deformity with the embryological – foetal development of the auricle. Satisfactory correction can be obtained by repositioning the auricle back in to its normal position.

    The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine (October 2017) Vol.69(1), Page 1698-1705 Review of Microtia: A Focus on Current Surgical Approaches Nujaim H. Alnujaim1, Mohammed H. Alnujaim2 1Division of Plastic and reconstructive surgery, Department of Surgery, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 2College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Corresponding author: Dr. Nujaim Hamad Alnujaim, Tel: +966506688244, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A wide spectrum of anomalies may involve the auditory system. As a visible structure, auricular malformations constitute a great burden. A wide set of anomalies may affect the ear including the microtia spectrum, protruding ears (bat ear), constricted ear (Lop and Cup ears), Stahl ear, and cryptotia. In plastic surgery practice protruding ears and microtia are common presentations. Microtia literally means small ears. Microtia is a spectrum of anomalies of the auricle that range from disorganized remnant of cartilage attached to soft tissue lobule to complete absence of the ear (anotia). Ear reconstructive procedures has made in impact in the lives of these patients. The early attempts to surgically restore the ear in microtia was in 1920 using a rib cartilage. Up to 49% of microtia cases are associated with other anomalies or a known syndrome. The most common syndromic associations are hemifacial microsomia, Towens Brocks syndrome, Treacher Collins, Goldenhar and Nager syndrome. Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS). Generally, the ear can be retrieved by two possible methods: Surgical reconstruction using autologous or alloplastic cartilage and the use of prosthesis which could be adhesive or implant retained. Surgical reconstruction proved to be superior to other methods due to its longevity and less complications.

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.
