摘 要:We describe a female Nigerian infant of otherwise healthy parents with no prior history of congenital anomalies who was born with left-sided cleft lip and palate, left anophthalmia, malformed left auricle, an atrial septal defect, and abnormal fusion of the medial ends of her ribs prior to their insertion into the sternum. She presented on account of respiratory difficulty following bouts of feed aspiration. Cautious feeding and the need for respiratory support are important aspects of care in patients with Goldenhar syndrome.
