Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Goldenhar syndrome is a rare condition which is characterized by a multitude of anomalies involving craniofacial structures, vertebrae, internal organs and usually occurs unilaterally. The etiology of this syndrome is unclear since it varies genetically and is linked to a plethora of reasons. Herein, we report a case of Goldenhar syndrome with hemifacial microsomia and microtia along with systemic involvement which was clinically and radio-graphically assessed. Many classical signs of the syndrome were present in the patient along with few rare ones. The various aspects of this rare disease have been discussed with emphasis on timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach to manage it.

Background: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) presentation includes gross distorted ramus, malposition temporomandibular joint, small glenoid fossa, distorted condyle and notch, malformed orbit, cupping ear or absent external ear, and facial nerve palsy. HFM is the second most prevalent congenital deformity of the face, with little literature from the South African population. This retrospective study elucidated the demographic characteristics and clinical presentations of HFM patients in a select South African population and compared it to the literature.

Purpose: To evaluate the growth, management, and outcomes of epibulbar dermolipomas over a 5-year follow-up period.
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of epibulbar dermolipoma patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years, which analyzed the changes in size, refractive errors (spherical equivalent), best-corrected visual acuity, histology, and surgical outcomes.
Results: A total of 61 eyes of 53 patients (32 females) with an average presenting age of 4.

Background: Situs inversus is a congenital malformation that occurs in one or multiple organs simultaneously and can be accompanied by malformations in other body parts. We analyzed the prevalence and phenotype of patients with situs inversus and comorbidities associated with other plastic surgery-related malformations to enhance the knowledge of its related disorders and facilitate treatment.
Methods: We recruited patients with situs inversus who were seen at our institution from February 2015 to July 2023.
