title: Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum in an infant of diabetic mother.
abstract: This report concerns a neonatal case of oculoauriculovertebral spectrum born to a thirty-five years old preexisting diabetic mother. The clinical presentation included left atretic external auditory canal with pre-auricular skin tag, asymmetric hypoplastic left face, bilateral additional 13th ribs, left torticollis, micrognathia, and low hair line. The possible association of oculoauriculovertebral spectrum and maternal diabetes is discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
