A report of two cases of oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar syndrome) from Benin City, Nigeria is presented. Both cases were seen in males with normal anthropometric parameters of head circumference, length and birth weight. The diagnosis was made in the neonatal period. Both babies had the consistent features of epibulbar dermiods, pre-auricular tags, and vertebral anomalies, though the lesions were seen on the left side of the body as against the expected right. Suddenly, within the first five weeks of life, both babies died of unknown cause.
