Abstract

We describe the dental and craniofacial anomalies of 2 ethnically distinct patients with Goldenhar syndrome, which is characterized by hemifacial microsomia, facial asymmetry, and ear and dental abnormalities. A 7-year-old Japanese girl and 12-year-old Turkish boy with Goldenhar syndrome were examined clinically and radiographically; both had symptoms of hemifacial microsomia. Multiple organ involvement can limit surgical correction of deformities and affect patient management. Therefore, long-term regular follow-up by a multidisciplinary team is important to monitor the growth and development of patients.
