[Goldenhar syndrome]. / El sindrome de Goldenhar.

We present a report on 9 patients with Goldenhar's Syndrome, and the criteria used for the diagnosis. Familiar data and clinical characteristics. Are described and discussed with that of other authors. The medical literature about this syndrome shows a lack of uniformity on the criteria necessary to diagnose the syndrome, as well as the role of the pathogenic factors. The authors propose the adoption of uniform criteria on the basis of their own experience and the report of Feingold and Baum. They can help to better delineate the differences between Hemifacial Microsomia and Goldenhar's Syndrome.
