Prenatal ultrasonographic recognition of Goldenhar's syndrome.
Goldenhar's syndrome is a series of malformations involving the face, either unilaterally or bilaterally. Other organs, such as the lungs, kidneys, spine, and heart, can also be involved. We report the prenatal ultrasonographic findings with regard to a fetus with multiple anomalies where Goldenhar's syndrome was not diagnosed until after birth. The importance of finding patterns of malformations is stressed to optimize the postnatal care for infants with multiple congenital abnormalities.
