These defects often lead to significant anesthetic challenges, frequently involving airway management, cervical spine instability, and cardiac defects. We present the case of a 14-year-old adolescent female diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome, exhibiting left-sided auricular appendage, limbal dermoid in the left eye, and hemifacial atrophy with facial asymmetry. She had an excision of the auricular appendage from the preauricular area under general anesthesia. The perioperative anesthetic considerations, challenges, and successful management strategies in such patients are discussed.EnglishAdolescent, anesthesia, Goldenhar syndromehttps://yemenjmed.com/admin/abstract?id=377References1619
