29. DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION
Hemifacial microsomia was first recorded by German
physician Carl Von Arlt in 1845 and Goldenhar in 1952
defined the syndrome more clearly.
Hemifacial microsomia (HM) is also known as Goldenhar-
Gorlin syndrome, first and second branchial arch syndrome,
and oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia.
Males appear to be more frequently affected than females
and the right side is affected more often than the left side
(3:2).

Macrostomia
Underdevelopment of the muscles of the face, cheek bones and
skin.
Microtia or anotia
Preauricular skin tags or pits
Mouth problems such as lack of saliva, problems in tongue &
missing teeth.
Vertebral defects
Other problems that may occur in some but not all cases are
eye defects, deafness, cleft palate, heart, limb or kidney.
The presence of otic hypoplasia, lateral facial cleft and
vertebral anomalies are the minimum criteria for the diagnosis
of Goldenhar syndrome.
