ABNORMALITIES OF THE SPINE IN GOLDENHARS-SYNDROME

The vertebral abnormalities present in 35 patients diagnosed with Gold enhar's syndrome are reported. There was no absolute correlation betwe en the presence of any of the formative or segmentation vertebral defe cts and that of other concomitant malformations. This study supports t he conclusion that patients with various groupings of Goldenhar-relate d anomalies should be considered as a single entity, to which the name Goldenhar association could be applied.
