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.
