The Goldenhar Syndrome is the rare congenital abnormalities that include Facio-Auriculo-Vertebral Spectrum, First and Second Branchial Arch Syndrome, Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral Spectrum, oculo-auriculo-vertebral disorder. Oculo-auriculo-vertebral disorder (OAVD) represents the mildest form of the disorder, while Goldenhar syndrome presents frequently as the most severe form. Hemifacial microstomia appears to be an intermediate form. Goldenhar Syndrome includes patients with facial asymmetry to very severe facial defects (resulting from unilateral facial skeleton hypoplasia) with abnormalities of skeleton and/or internal organs. The most significant are epibulbar dermoids, dacryocystitis, auricular abnormalities, preauricular appendages, preauricular fistulas and hypoplasia of the malar bones, mandible, maxilla and zygomatic arch. Some patients are found to have oculo-auriculo-vertebral disorder, namely low height, delayed psychomotor development, retardation (more frequently seen with cerebral developmental anomalies and microphthalmia), speech disorders (articulation disorders, rhinolalia, different voice disorders, unusual timbre), psycho-social problems, autistic behaviors. The authors describe the clinical case of Goldenhar Syndrome in boy a 3-months-year-old.  This case demonstrates a rarely described association of oculo-auriculo-vertebral disorders, malformation of respiratory system (hypoplasia of the lower lobe of the left lung with relaxation of the left cupula of the diaphragm), heart abnormality (atrium septa defect).Key words: Goldenhar Syndrome, children, diagnostic РІДКІСНІ КАРДІОРЕСПІРАТОРНІ ЗНАХІДКИ ПРИ СИНДРОМІ ГОЛДЕНХАРА.Гончар М.О., Помазуновська О.П., Логвінова О.Л., Тригуб Ю.В., Косенко А.М.Синдром Гольденхара є рідкісною вродженою аномалією, яка включає перший і другий синдром Бінья, окуло-аурикуло-вертебральний спектр, окуло-аурикуло-хребетний синдром.

Abstract Hemifacial microsomia is a rare congenital, heterogeneous malformation disorder affecting predominantly unilateral face and involving head malformations mainly in the region of the first and second branchial arch and varying associated malformations. The disorder is associated with unusual strange distortion of the face with facial asymmetry and may cause psychological problems in the affected child and even the parents. Hemifacial microsomia is best managed by a multidisciplinary team including the otolaryngologist, audiologist, plastic surgeon and temporal bone radiologist. However, physicians working in many geographic areas of the world lacking active effective multidisciplinary teams and major craniofacial centers, will face a serious challenge and a tough time in making the appropriate referrals which ensure satisfactory management. The complexity of the defects in this condition, the potentially non-static nature of the condition and the lack of extensive management experiences with such rare condition make management challenging even when the appropriate timely referrals can be ensured. The aim of this paper is to report the occurrence of non-syndromal hemifacial microsomia in two unrelated Iraqi children for the first time.

Objective The CL/Fr mouse, known as a strain with spontaneous cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), has been used as an animal model to investigate etiology in CL/P. Method We examined a facial asymmetry mutant discovered in a CL/Fr mouse colony that was not associated with CL/P and was shown to be inheritable in subsequent generations. Facial asymmetry became apparent with postnatal growth, whereas it was not detectable at birth, and was termed “maxillary bending” (MB) based on the characteristic bending of the maxilla. Results As a result of selective breeding, an ‘MB line,’ in which MB was observed in 21.68% (67/309) in addition to CL/P in 17.80% (55/309) of the offspring, was developed in the CL/Fr colony. In mating experiments between the MB line and C57BL/6J, all F1 progeny showed the normal phenotype. MB was observed In 0.72% (1/139) of the F2 generation, and the backcross generation showed segregation of MB in 6.25% (22/352) and CL/P in 1.42% (5/352). These instances suggested the occurrence of an additional mutation in the CL/Fr mouse genome controlled by an autosomal recessive gene with low penetrance. However, since the CL/Fr mouse primarily has a developmental deficiency in the maxilla, the possibility that CL/P and MB share common etiologic factors cannot be completely ruled out. Conclusion The maxillary bending retains significance, as this mutant can serve as an animal model of abnormal facial growth. Elucidation of the etiologic relationship between MB and CL/P may provide clues to clarifying the deficiency in first branchial arch In the mouse.

Paranasal mucoceles are a type of cysts that evolve slowly and are asymptomatic; this poses a difficulty in diagnosing the patient because the symptoms can go unnoticed. The mucocele evolves unpredictably. On the one hand, it can become infected turning into pyoceles and on the other hand, it can invade important regions such as the orbital, cranial or genian regions, creating facial asymmetry. This is a retrospective case study of 37 patients diagnosed with sinus mucoceles, followed up by clinical examination and paraclinical tests such as CT and MRI scans. The biochemical components of the liquid from within the mucocele were analyzed and the following criteria were recorded: NaCl-, Cl-, Na+ and cholesterine as well as cellular components such as mastocytes, macrophages, hematocytes and leucocytes. In all cases, the treatment option was surgery with favorable post-operative and follow-up evaluation. The mucoceles that appeared post-operatively (maxillary and ethmoid sinuses) evolved more rapidly than the mucoceles that were induced byan external injury. Longer follow-up of operated patients permitted a more timely diagnosis of recurrences.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.

Branchial cleft cysts are congenital anomalies that most commonly arise from a failure of fusion of the second branchial arch during embryonic life. They usually present as a swelling in the lateral side of the neck, below the mandible. In this article, we present a case of a 28-year-old female patient with a right branchial cyst measuring 7 × 6 × 5 cm, who presented with an asymptomatic, rapidly growing mass in the right anterior triangle of the neck that abutted the right external carotid artery, leading to stenosis of the vessel that is preceded by dilatation above the site of compression. She underwent excision of the cystic mass with preservation of the facial nerve and presented no active complaints on follow-up a few weeks postoperatively.
