Abstract

This report presents a 54-year-old woman with Goldenhar syndrome featuring an epibulbar dermoid, left microtia and a left preauricular appendage, and synostosis of the vertebrae. Multiple cardiovascular malformations including Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, patent ductus arteriosus, an anomalous origin of the coronary arteries, and a right-sided descending aorta were revealed by electrocardiography, echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Goldenhar syndrome is very rare, but the frequency of cardiovascular malformations in this syndrome is 5-58%. It is necessary to perform a careful evaluation of general malformations, especially cardiovascular malformations. (Jpn Circ J 1998; 62: 617 - 620)
