It is characterised by epibulbar dermoid cyst and preauricular skin appendages with or without vertebral defects. 2 This syndrome has always been reported in single born babies from India 2-4 but in western literature 3 cases have been described in one of the twins. 5 We have also studied a case of Goldenhar syndrome in one of the male twins delivered at JN Medical College Hospital, AMU, Aligarh. The other male twin baby was apparantly normal which is quite interesting and is the first case of its kind from India.
