A 12-year-old male child presented with complaints of a yellowish-white mass in the right eye since birth and defective vision in the right eye, the informant being his father. The visual acuity in the right eye was 3/60 and the left eye was 6/6. Ocular examination of the right eye revealed limbal dermoid [Figure 1]a from 6'O clock to 10'O clock position encroaching over the cornea with a temporal extent up to the lower lid and the left eye revealed upper lid coloboma [Figure 1]b; rest of the anterior segment was normal. General and systemic examination revealed right preauricular tag [Figure 1]c, scoliosis [Figure 1]d, and hemivertebra. In addition, he had situs inversus and dextrocardia [Figure 1]d. Hence, a diagnosis of Goldenhar syndrome with situs inversus was made. The patient was taken for right eye limbal dermoid excision with lamellar patch graft [Figure 2]a and [Figure 2]b. | Figure 1: (a) Right eye depicting limbal dermoid encroaching cornea.

| Discussion | |  |
Goldenhar syndrome or oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia is characterized by a heterogeneous constellation of malformation, classically involving the face, eyes, ears, and vertebral column.[1] The incidence of Goldenhar syndrome has been reported to be 1:3500–1:5000, with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. Most cases of Goldenhar disease occur sporadically in people with no family history. Goldenhar disease may affect the heart, lungs, kidneys, and central nervous system. It is reported that the right side is more severely affected than the left.[2] A dermoid cyst is a soft, yellowish, globular swelling of varying shape and size arising from the lid, outer angle of orbit, eye brow, conjunctiva, and limbus. The epibulbar dermoid and lipodermoid are choristomas[3] which are normal tissue in abnormal position. The most frequent site of involvement is believed to be lower temporal segment.[4] Although Goldenhar syndrome itself is not very rare, its association with situs inversus made this case a rare entity.
