title: Neurotrophic keratopathy secondary to trigeminal nerve aplasia in patient with Goldenhar syndrome.
abstract: METHODS
  A 4-year-old male diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome, with an unremarkable ophthalmic history, develops a neurotrophic ulcer secondary to trigeminal nerve aplasia. It was treated with multilaminar amniotic membrane transplantation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Trigeminal nerve aplasia is not usually reported in Goldenhar syndrome. Therefore, it seems necessary to perform routine eye examinations, from an early age, to prevent serious complications associated with corneal anaesthesia.
