RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disease that presents with a spectrum of clinical sequelae related to the vertebrae and other organs. The spinal manifestations of the syndrome are associated with scoliosis for which fusion may be considered. The current study aimed to evaluate the risks of adverse events and reoperations following posterior spinal fusion for those with Goldenhar syndrome relative to those with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS: Patients with Goldenhar syndrome and AIS between the ages of 10 and 17 who underwent posterior spinal fusion were abstracted from the 2010 to 2022 PearlDiver Database. The Goldenhar syndrome patients were matched 1:4 to patients with AIS based on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. All 90 day postoperative adverse events, readmissions, and 5 year reoperations were identified using administrative coding. Incidence of adverse events between the cohorts were compared using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 11,742 patients with AIS and 72 (0.61%) Goldenhar syndrome undergoing deformity surgery were identified. On matched comparison, patients with Goldenhar syndromes had higher odds ratio (OR) of respiratory failure (OR: 2.99, p = 0.009), severe adverse events (p = 2.29, p = 0.01), and readmissions (p = 2.26, p = 0.02). Over 5 years, they had a significantly higher incidence of reoperation compared to those with AIS (18.1% versus 5.5%, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: In this national sample of patients with Goldenhar syndrome undergoing posterior spinal fusion, patients with Goldenhar had increased odds of respiratory failure, readmissions, and reoperations. Targeted risk mitigation strategies may be appropriately considered for those with Goldenhar syndrome undergoing such surgeries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III; Case-control study or retrospective cohort study.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome, also known as oculo-auriculo-vertebral syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial anomalies, ear malformations, and ocular abnormalities. It is also associated with multiple system involvement, including the central nervous system, renal, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. This case report presents a detailed description of a preterm female neonate diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome. Many of the classical features, along with ventricular septal defect (VSD), were present in our patient. She was complicated by prematurity and a urinary tract infection and was later diagnosed with a VSD at the age of three months. The multidisciplinary examination and management involving pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, ophthalmologists, and otorhinolaryngologists led to comprehensive care for the patient. This case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and management for optimal patient outcomes.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome is a multifactorial congenital anomaly that involves structures that develop from the first and second pharyngeal arches. In this report, we present a clinical case of a 3-month-old male infant diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome, born to a known retro-viral infected mother who was receiving antiretroviral therapy. The baby was brought to the hospital with complaints related to upper respiratory system. On examination, he had typical signs and symptoms of Goldenhar syndrome: an asymmetrical face with small left facial bones, a low-set ear, left anophthalmia, an atretic left ear with only small ear appendages, and a complete cleft lip and palate. His family had no history of birth defects or exposure to the known causes of birth defects. The baby was treated for severe community-acquired pneumonia, the diagnosis for his current presentation to our hospital, and he is now on multidisciplinary follow-up for possible medical and surgical management of the Goldenhar syndrome.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome, a rare craniofacial malformation, is characterized by developmental anomalies in the first and second pharyngeal arches. Its etiology is considered to be heterogenous, including both genetic and environmental factors that remain largely unknown. To further elucidate the genetic cause in a five-generation Goldenhar syndrome pedigree and exploit the whole-exome sequencing (WES) data of this pedigree, we generated collapsed haplotype pattern markers based on WES and employed rare variant nonparametric linkage analysis. FBLN2 was identified as a candidate gene via analysis of WES data across the significant linkage region. A fbln2 knockout zebrafish line was established by CRISPR/Cas9 to examine the gene's role in craniofacial cartilage development. fbln2 was expressed specifically in the mandible during the zebrafish early development, while fbln2 knockout zebrafish exhibited craniofacial malformations with abnormal chondrocyte morphologies. Functional studies revealed that fbln2 knockout caused abnormal chondrogenic differentiation, apoptosis, and proliferation of cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs), and downregulated the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signaling pathway in the zebrafish model. This study demonstrates the role of FBLN2 in CNCC development and BMP pathway regulation, and highlights FBLN2 as a candidate gene for Goldenhar syndrome, which may have implications for the selection of potential screening targets and the development of treatments for conditions like microtia-atresia.

RESUMEN

The authors aim to present an updated protocol for mandibular reconstruction in nongrowing patients with Pruzansky/Kaban type IIb/III congenital craniofacial microsomia with customized temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis to reduce facial nerve (FN) damage and improve surgical accuracy. This is illustrated (using 3 cases) and is based on preoperative mapping of the FN using MRI for better virtual surgical planning of custom-made TMJ prosthesis. Intraoperative FN mapping and monitoring, as well as verification of the final result with intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D-reconstructed images is also achieved. All 3 patients presented mild transient postoperative facial palsy due to surgical soft tissue stretching which resolved within 2 months of surgery. All patients presented proper occlusion and mouth opening without pain, with an average incisal opening of 38.8 mm (range 35.5-42 mm) at two months of follow-up. Moreover, superposition of intraoperative and preoperative 3D reconstruction images ensured surgical accuracy and avoided the need for a potential reintervention. In conclusion, the proposed surgical protocol for mandibular reconstruction with customized alloplastic TMJ prosthesis in nongrowing patients with type IIb/III Pruzansky-Kaban congenital mandibular hypoplasia may reduce FN morbidity, improve surgical accuracy and final outcomes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe in detail the lacrimal drainage system anomalies and review of literature in patients with Goldenhar syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS), and Ectodermal-Ectrodactyly-Clefting syndrome (EECS), their management and outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective chart review from January 2011-June 2023 of all cases presenting to the Dacryology clinic with Goldenhar syndrome, RTS, and EECS was obtained. Data collected included demographics, laterality, clinical presentations, proximal and distal lacrimal drainage anomalies, associated systemic features, management, and outcomes. RESULTS: Eight children with Goldenhar syndrome (n = 13), three with RTS (n = 5) and three with EECS (n = 5) presented with lacrimal drainage system involvement. Cases with Goldenhar syndrome showed male predominance (5/8), and the mean age at presentation was 14.75 months. Four cases had simple CNLDO, seven cases with complex CNLDO (4 - buried probe and 3 - atonic sacs) and a single neonate presented with bilateral dacryocele. Patients with RTS presented with mean age of 36.33 months with male predominance. Probing under endoscopic guidance explored the anatomy thoroughly and those with altered nasal anatomy increased the probability of complex CNLDO. Those with EECS (n = 5) presented with a greater involvement of proximal lacrimal drainage system compared with Goldenhar syndrome and RTS, including anomalies like punctal agenesis, incomplete punctal canalization (IPC), ectopic puncta, canalicular stenosis, and complex CNLDO. CONCLUSIONS: A step-wise approach to assessing the proximal and lacrimal drainage system in those affected with craniofacial malformations and addressing them can result in satisfactory outcomes for the majority of patients.

RESUMEN

This study aimed to document the prevalence, severity, and risk factors of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) in craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and to analyse differences in VPD-related speech characteristics between CFM patients without cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), CFM patients with CL/P, and CL/P patients without CFM (control). A total of 223 patients with CFM were included, of whom 59 had a CL/P. Thirty-four CFM patients had VPD, including 20 with a CL/P. VPD was significantly more prevalent in CFM with CL/P than in CFM without CL/P (odds ratio (OR) 4.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9-8.7; P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression showed a significant association between CL/P and VPD in CFM patients (OR 7.4, 95% CI 2.1-26.3; P = 0.002). The presence of VPD was not associated with sex, the laterality or severity of CFM. Speech problems related to VPD appeared to be similar among the different groups (CFM without CL/P, CFM with CL/P, CL/P without CFM). As 15.2% of all CFM patients and 8.5% of CFM patients without CL/P had VPD, it is proposed that all patients with CFM, with or without CL/P, should be assessed by a speech and language therapist for the potential risk of VPD.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly, manifests as craniofacial malformations often necessitating intricate surgical interventions. These procedures, though crucial, can expose patients to diverse postoperative complications, including hemorrhage or infection. A noteworthy complication is stroke, potentially linked to air embolism or local surgical trauma. We highlight a case of a male patient, aged 20 years, who experienced a significant postoperative complication of an ischemic stroke, theorized to be due to an air embolism, after undergoing orthognathic procedures for Goldenhar syndrome. The patient was subjected to LeFort I maxillary osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible, and anterior iliac crest bone grafting to the right maxilla. He suffered an acute ischemic stroke in the left thalamus post-surgery, theorized to stem from an air embolism. Advanced imaging demonstrated air pockets within the cavernous sinus, a rare and concerning finding suggestive of potential air embolism. This case underscores the intricate challenges in treating Goldenhar syndrome patients and the rare but significant risk of stroke due to air embolism or surgical trauma. Limited literature on managing air embolism complications specific to Goldenhar syndrome surgeries exists. Generally, management includes immediate recognition, positional adjustments, air aspiration via central venous catheters, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hemodynamic support, and high-flow oxygen administration to expedite air resorption. Our patient was conservatively managed post-surgery, and at a 3-month neurology follow-up, he showed significant improvement with only residual right arm weakness. It emphasizes the imperative of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.

RESUMEN

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) primarily includes specific head and neck anomalies that co-occur more frequently than expected. The anomalies are usually asymmetric and affect craniofacial features; however, there are frequently additional anomalies of variable severity. Published prenatal findings for CFM are limited. This study contributes 11 cases with CFM and their anomalies identified prenatally. Cases born between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2019 with CFM were abstracted from the Alberta Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System, which is a population-based program ascertaining congenital anomalies for livebirths, stillbirths, and termination of pregnancies for fetal anomalies. There were 11 cases ascertained with prenatal findings including facial anomalies: one each with left cleft lip, right microtia, and bilateral microphthalmia. Two cases had vertebral anomalies. In addition, anomalies of the kidneys, brain, heart, and radial ray were identified. Six (55%) had a single umbilical artery, five (45%) were small for gestational age, and three (27%) were from a twin pregnancy that were discordant for anomalies. Four (36%) overlapped another proposed recurrent constellations of embryonic malformation condition. This study describes prenatal findings for 11 cases with CFM. Comparable to prior published cases, there were recurring anomalies on prenatal imaging, including anomalies of the brain, eye, heart, kidneys, and radial ray, which may aid in the prenatal diagnosis of CFM.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To report a case of a 4-year-old patient with Goldenhar syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: The author presents a rare case report involving a 4-year-old boy with multiple malformations. A comprehensive examination showed that the patient primarily had a limbal dermoid. He also has bilateral microtia and ear canal deformities. The skull CT scan and spine X-ray showed Maxillofacial Abnormalities and scoliosis. Whole Exome Sequencing revealed potential gene variations related to microtia. Although certain circumstances prevented us from initiating follow-up treatment for the patient, we have provided a detailed account of the diagnostic methodologies used for this condition. CONCLUSIONS: Goldenhar syndrome is a congenital condition, predominantly presenting as sporadic cases. Its diagnosis and management typically necessitate the involvement of multiple disciplines, including otolaryngology and craniofacial surgery. The syndrome encompasses a variety of craniofacial features, which can facilitate early diagnosis and guide subsequent therapeutic interventions.

RESUMEN

Background: Goldenhar Syndrome is a rare congenital condition, typically characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and vertebral malformations. Due to its rare and complex nature, the etiology is unconfirmed, resulting in parental uncertainty and subsequent emotional sequelae. Clinical manifestations have been researched but few studies have explored parental wellbeing and Quality of Life (QoL). In this qualitative study, we explore parental views of the challenges and lived experience of raising a child with Goldenhar Syndrome. Methods: Ten biological parents (five mothers and five fathers), recruited at the Goldenhar UK Conference, took part in audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews. Interviews explored emotional wellbeing, views surrounding causation, support accessed, challenges faced, experience of stigma and future outlooks. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed, and transcripts were subject to deductive and inductive coding. Results: Seven themes were identified: support networks (Goldenhar UK), rollercoaster of emotion; gendered coping; uncertainty; societal reactions; coping with challenge and acceptance. Conclusions: This is the first-time the life perspectives of parents, raising a child with Goldenhar Syndrome, have been explored via interviews. We have unearthed prominent issues that impact parental QoL including isolation and distress at the point of diagnosis, and throughout the multidisciplinary health journey. We have also established significant indicators of the ongoing QoL challenges faced by young people with Goldenhar Syndrome. Future work is underway exploring these issues further with teenagers, young people and adults with Goldenhar to develop a conceptual framework of their QoL. This will be used to develop a bespoke patient reported outcome (PRO) to give voice to the challenges children and young adults face during their medical journey.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Craniofacial microsomia (CM) is characterized by changes in the first and second branchial arches. It is a clinical condition whose etiology is still uncertain, but studies have shown that genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors can result in disorders of blastogenesis of the branchial arches. This study evaluates gestational aspects, focusing on possible risk factors associated with CM. METHODS: This is a case-control study conducted with patients monitored at a medical genetics service and compared to a control group of patients without evidence of malformations, born in a mother and child hospital, both located in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. Mothers' data were obtained using questionnaires and by reviewing medical records. The sample consisted of 43 patients with CM (cases) and 129 patients without evidence of malformations (controls), paired by sex, totaling three controls for each case. Data analysis was performed using the two-tailed Fisher's exact test, Pearson's chi-square test, and the t-test. RESULTS: We identified several factors associated with the development of CM, including the use of abortion methods by the mothers of these babies (p = .001), maternal diabetes (p = .009), advanced maternal age (p = .035), and a history of vaginal bleeding (p < .001). Furthermore, these patients exhibited a tendency to be born prematurely (p = .027), with low birth weight (p = .007), and lower Apgar scores (p = .003) when compared to healthy infants. Using a multivariate model, the use of abortion methods (p = .003) and vaginal bleeding (p = .032) remained independently associated with craniofacial microsomia. CONCLUSIONS: We have identified several risk factors for the development of CM, including a propensity for premature birth, low birth weight, and respiratory difficulties. Additionally, women of advanced maternal age and/or those who used abortion methods and/or have diabetes have a higher risk of giving birth to a baby with CM. This information can be valuable in clinical practice, especially for the prevention of future cases.

RESUMEN

The study analyzed vascular variations in microtia associated with hemifacial microsomia (HFM). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 patients with microtia and HFM, who underwent computed tomography angiography between November 2011 and May 2022. The vascular course and branching supplying the TPF were analyzed. Craniometric measurements were conducted to determine the horizontal distance from the porion and fronto-zygomatic suture (F-Z suture) to the vessels. On the affected side, the TPF was primarily supplied by either the superficial temporal artery (STA) or the postauricular artery-originated STA (Po-STA). The Po-STA (n = 29) was more prevalent than the STA (n = 18), and mostly exhibited a single frontal branch (n = 20). Craniometric analysis revealed that the Po-STA was closer to the porion, ear vestige, and F-Z suture than the STA on the non-affected side. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the severity of mandibular hypoplasia and presence of Po-STA variation (Cramer's V = 0.498, p = 0.005). Microtia associated with HFM exhibits vascular variations in the TPF - in particular, a unique Po-STA variation. The Po-STA is prone to injury during ear reconstruction because of its proximity to the external auditory canal and ear vestige. Surgeons should be cautious of these anatomical variations for safer ear reconstruction procedures, and utilize preoperative imaging for meticulous planning.

RESUMEN

Ear tags or accessory auricles are branchial cleft remnants that clinically appear as asymptomatic nodules or papules in the preauricular region. They occur in various syndromes affecting the first and branchial arches during embryogenesis. The presence of an ear tag can have a psychological impact on one's life due to its unesthetic appearance, thereby affecting their quality of life. Talon cusp usually occurs in the maxillary central or lateral incisor. A fissured tongue or cerebriform tongue is characterized by the presence of horizontal or vertical grooves, usually affecting the dorsum of the tongue. Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie is a developmental anomaly in which the lingual frenum is abnormally attached to the ventral surface of the tongue. It can cause difficulties in breastfeeding in infants and in the pronunciation of certain vowels in adults. The concurrent occurrence of the ear tag along with the talon cusp in the mandibular second molar has not been reported in previous literature. We present a unique case of a 24-year-old non-syndromic individual with the concurrent occurrence of the ear tag along with a rare clinical occurrence of talon cusp in the mandibular second molar, fissured tongue, and ankyloglossia.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Goldenhar syndrome is a congenital disease that involves an absence or underdevelopment of structures that arise from the first and second pharyngeal arches and more or less severe extracranial anomalies. A variety of supraglottic malformations may be observed, including mandibular hypoplasia, mandibular asymmetry and micrognathia. Subglottic airway stenosis (SGS), which can cause difficulties in airway management during the perioperative period, is seldom emphasized in literature descriptions of Goldenhar syndrome, but can be clinically significant. CASE PRESENTATION: An 18-year-old female with a history of Goldenhar syndrome presented for placement of a right mandibular distractor, right retroauricular dilator, and stage I transfer of a prefabricated expanded flap under general anesthesia. During tracheal intubation, the endotracheal tube (ETT) met resistance unexpectantly when attempting to pass through the glottis. Subsequently, we attempted the procedure with a smaller size ETT but again met resistance. With fiberoptic bronchoscope, we found that the whole segment of the trachea and bilateral bronchi were obvious narrow. Given the finding of unexpected severe airway stenosis and the associated risks with proceeding with the surgery, the operation was cancelled. We removed the ETT once the patient was fully awake. CONCLUSIONS: Anesthesiologists should be aware of this clinical finding when evaluating the airway of a patient with Goldenhar syndrome. Coronal and sagittal measurements on computerized tomography (CT) and three-dimensional image reconstruction can be used to evaluate the degree of subglottic airway stenosis and measure the diameter of the trachea.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To report associated congenital anomalies with unexplained craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and the phenotypic overlap with other recurrent constellations of embryonic malformations (RCEM), and to assess prenatal and perinatal risk factors. STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Cases with CFM, delivered between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2019, were abstracted from the population-based Alberta Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System. Livebirths, stillbirths, and early fetal losses were reviewed to include all types of pregnancy outcomes along the spectrum of this condition. Prenatal and perinatal risk factors were compared with the Alberta birth population to assess differences between the 2 groups. RESULTS: There were 63 cases with CFM, yielding a frequency of 1 per 16 949. There was a high rate of cases (65%) with anomalies outside the craniofacial and vertebral regions. Congenital heart defects were the most common (33.3%). A single umbilical artery was found in 12.7% of cases. The twin/triplet rate of 12.7% was significantly higher than the Alberta rate of 3.3% (P < .0001). There was an overlap with a second RCEM condition in 9.5% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: Although CFM is primarily a craniofacial condition, the majority of cases have congenital anomalies affecting other systems requiring additional assessments, including an echocardiogram, renal ultrasound examination, and a complete vertebral radiograph. The high rate of an associated single umbilical artery raises the possibility of a related etiological mechanism. Our findings support the proposed concept of RCEM conditions.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects the development of the craniofacial region, spine, and ears. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms that can vary in severity and may include facial asymmetry, microtia or anotia, cleft lip or palate, vertebral anomalies, and eye abnormalities. Although the cause of Goldenhar syndrome is not fully understood, it is thought to be related to disruptions in the early embryonic development of the affected tissues. The diagnosis is typically made based on physical examination and imaging studies, and management may involve a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including geneticists, audiologists, and plastic surgeons. Treatment options depend on the specific symptoms and may include surgery, hearing aids, and speech therapy. While Goldenhar syndrome can have significant physical and functional implications for affected individuals, early detection and appropriate management can help improve outcomes and quality of life.

RESUMEN

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disorder. Limbal dermoid associated with this syndrome can cause high astigmatism and amblyopia in children. We report significant reduction in astigmatism, after limbal dermoid excision with lamellar keratoplasty, in a rare case of Goldenhar syndrome. A three-year-old female patient, with left-sided limbal dermoid with high astigmatism and amblyopia, was referred to us for visual rehabilitation. The patient had left-sided limbal dermoid and preauricular appendages. Oral examination revealed bifid labial frenum, a deep antegonial notch on the left side of the mandible and missing left upper central incisor teeth. She was diagnosed as a case of Goldenhar syndrome. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20 of 20 in the right eye and 20 of 200 in the left eye. Refraction showed astigmatism of 10 diopters in her left eye. She underwent limbal dermoid excision with lamellar keratoplasty in her left eye, after which her astigmatism reduced considerably. Early surgical intervention is recommended in cases of limbal dermoid with high astigmatism as it provides not only good cosmetic but also good visual benefits by early institution of treatment for amblyopia.

RESUMEN

Purpose: To report a case of lacrimal system agenesis in a patient with Goldenhar syndrome. Observations: A one-month-old female preterm twin with Goldenhar syndrome presented with left upper eyelid coloboma, left central corneal ulcer and inferotemporal epibulbar dermoid. The corneal ulcer was treated and healed to a mild stromal scar. Examination under anesthesia prior to surgery revealed agenesis of the upper and lower eyelids canaliculi. Surgery was performed to correct left upper eyelid coloboma. At a second stage, the epibulbar dermoid was excised and ocular surface was repaired with amniotic membrane graft. Conclusion and importance: Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly arising from the abnormal development of the first and second branchial arches. Anomalies of lacrimal drainage system are uncommon in Goldenhar including nasolacrimal duct obstruction and common canalicular obstruction. Agenesis of the lacrimal system has not been described in cases of Goldenhar syndrome. This case represents a unique and uncommonly seen feature.

RESUMEN

Abstract Introduction: goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome that affects the craniofacial morphogenesis. It is a complex syndrome, with heterogeneous presentation which the diagnosis can still be performed in the intrauterine through morphological ultrasound. Description: a case report of a 4-year-old male patient diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome, along with its clinical presentation, diagnostic investigation and follow-up. Discussion: the follow-up on these patients remains a challenge, since it can affect different systems and with different presentations. The earlier the diagnosis is performed, the greater the patient's chances of having a favorable prognosis with multidisciplinary stimulation. The objective of this article is to contribute to the medical literature, in order to assist in the diagnosis and management of future cases.
