Introduction: Goldenhar syndrome is an oculoauriculovertebral spectrum attributed to the developmental anomalies of the first and second brachial arches. Its typical presentation in children with hemifacial microsomia poses a dual challenge for the anaesthesiologist on account of difficult airway often compounded with systemic abnormalities. Case report: We describe a case report wherein a 5 year female presented to the oculoplastic clinic of our hospital for surgical removal of limbal dermoid under general anaesthesia. Airway examination revealed classical facial asymmetry with underdevelopment of jaw bone coupled with protruding incisors. A predicted difficult airway, more so in a child led us to choose an anaesthesia technique with preservation of spontaneous breathing and planned use of supraglottic device in the form of an I Gel for airway management. Conclusion: The aim of this case report is to highlight the anaesthetic implications of this not so uncommon entity presenting to ophthalmology and ENT clinics. A thorough preoperative assessment, adequate preparedness and alternative plans are keys for successful airway management in such syndromic children. Keywords: Goldenhar syndrome, hemifacial microsomia, I Gel

Introduction In 1952 Goldenhar described a case with triad of pre auricular tags, mandibular hypoplasia and ocular (epibulbar) dermoid and described the case as Goldenhar Syndrome. Case Report A case of Goldenhar Syndrome without ocular involvement is presented. Discussion Goldenhar syndrome is also known as oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia due to presence of additional vertebral anomalies. Exact etiology of this disease is not known. Most of the cases are   sporadic, though autosomal recessive/dominant and multifactorial inheritance has also been suggested. Chromosomal analysis shows no abnormalities.
