[Goldenhar's syndrome: a case report].
A 13-mont-old infant bearer of a Goldenhar's syndrome with bilateral aplasia of pinnae, external auditory canals, mastoid processus, glenoid fossaes, condiloid processus, right micro-ophtalmy with micro-cornea and iris coloboma, death from bronchopneumonia, is reported. The AA. suggest as aetiological cause the triphasic conjugation of malnutrition, tobacco addiction and weed-killers, extensively employed in fieldwork. All three causes producing free radicals, which are known for its tera-togeneticy, that break the H bounds of DNA of germinative cells and consequently originating errors of blastogenesis with the corresponding congenital malformations.
