Abstract: Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital condition affecting 1:3500 - 1:5600 with a male to female ratio of 3:2 births. Goldenhar syndrome is represented by abnormal development of the eyes, ears, and spine. Children with Goldenhar syndrome may have partially formed or absent ears, benign eye growths like Epibulbar and limbal dermoids and spinal deformities like scoliosis. The condition may also affect facial structure and other body organs, with most deformities affecting only one side of the body.Spine and rib cage deformities are common, with about half of people with Goldenhar syndrome having congenital scoliosis. Spine anomalies can lead to incomplete growth and pulmonary disorders.Here, we are reporting three cases of Goldenhar’s syndrome, where almost all the classical signs of this rare condition were present.

Keywords: Deformity, Epibulbar Dermoid, Goldenhar’s syndrome, Epicanthusinversus, Duane syndrome.
