Cardiovascular abnormalities in the oculo‐auriculo‐vertebral spectrum (Goldenhar syndrome)

Abstract
We describe the phenotypic characteristics of 25 individuals with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) and its variants, seen in Northern Ireland between 1969–1989, with special reference to cardiovascular defects. We report the type and prevalence of cardiovascular findings and also estimate the minimum prevalence rate of OAVS to be 1 in 45,000. © Wiley-Liss, Inc.
