We report a rare facial cleft (type 2 according to the Tessier classificati on) as the first presenting echographic sign of the oculo-auriculo-vertebra l spectrum (OAVS) (Goldenhar syndrome). Associated malformations included a left lateral cleft with macrostomia, left ear hypoplasia, left preauricula r tag, single umbilical artery, hyposegmentation of the left lung and imper foratio ani.
