Summary The vertebral abnormalities present in 35 patients diagnosed with Goldenhar's syndrome are reported. There was no absolute correlation between the presence of any of the formative or segmentation vertebral defects and that of other concomitant malformations. This study supports the conclusion that patients with various groupings of Goldenhar-related anomalies should be considered as a single entity, to which the name Goldenhar association could be applied.
