Unilateral Semicircular Canal Aplasia in Goldenhar's Syndrome
a From the Departments of Radiology (M.M.L., B.D.V., M.F.K.), Medical Genetics (G.R.M.), and Otorhinolaryngology (I.J.D.), University Hospital Gent, Gent, Belgium.
Summary: A patient with Goldenhar's syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia) and unilateral aplasia of all semicircular canals is presented. This is the first report of such a finding and may support the hypothesis that Goldenhar's syndrome and the CHARGE association have a common pathogenetic mechanism.
