title: Prenatal diagnosis of facial clefting as part of the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum.
abstract: We report a rare facial cleft (type 2 according to the Tessier classification) as the first presenting echographic sign of the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) (Goldenhar syndrome). Associated malformations included a left lateral cleft with macrostomia, left ear hypoplasia, left preauricular tag, single umbilical artery, hyposegmentation of the left lung and imperforatio ani.
