The oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized
by a hemifacial microsomia with ocular abnormalities and coexisting disorders in the spinal …

The inner ear, which contains sensory organs specialized for hearing and balance,
develops from an ectodermal placode that invaginates lateral to hindbrain rhombomeres (r) …

Introduction Intracranial vascular, bone, and brain abnormalities might be observed in oculo-
auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) patients even though these structures do not derive …

Background Oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia (OAVD)(Goldenhar's syndrome) is a
congenital syndrome with ipsilateral deformity of the ear and face, epibulbar lipodermoids …

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the inner ear malformations in patients
with Goldenhar syndrome and to hypothesize the potential embryopathogenesis of these …

Objective Goldenhar syndrome is a developmental disorder presenting with orofacial and
vertebral anomalies, which are also accompanied by abnormalities in other organs. We …

Gbx2 encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor that plays pivotal roles during
embryogenesis. Gain-and loss-of-function studies in several vertebrate species have …

Imaging of the semicircular canals specifically is part of the imaging process of the temporal
bone in general. The semicircular canals are easily seen on CT images and 3DFT-CISS …

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 …

In order to examine the mechanisms that underlie development of the inner ear, the normal
processes were perturbed using all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). By implanting a resin exchange …
