Goldenhar's syndrome, named after Dr M Goldenhar, is normally reserved for cases presenting hemi-facial microsomy. This syndrome normally affects upper and lower jaws, pinna, and adjacent tissues in a hemi-face. The target of this rehabilitation is to restore to its maximum possible extent patient's esthetics and masticatory function. We present intra-oral rehabilitation of a Goldenhar Syndrome patient who attended the maxillofacial prosthesis clinic. The patient exhibited complete edentulism, maxillary and mandibular hypoplasia (this latter compensated with a titanium chain). Prosthetic bi-maxillary rehabilitation was undertaken, bearing in mind circumstances of facial asymmetry, mandibular movement limitations and decreased alveolar ridges. Treatment was mainly focused on improvement of esthetic, phonetic and masticatory functions, which, as a whole are crucial in patient´s day-to-day life and quality of life. RESUMENEl síndrome de Goldenhar en honor al Dr. M. Goldenhar suele reservarse para los casos que presentan microsomía hemifacial. Este síndrome suele afectar principalmente maxilar, mandíbula, pabellón auricular, globo ocular y tejidos adyacentes de una hemicara. El objetivo de esta rehabilitación es devolver en medida de lo posible, la función masticatoria y estética al paciente. A continuación se presenta la rehabilitación intraoral de una paciente con síndrome de Goldenhar que acudió a la clínica de PMF presentando edentulismo total hipoplasia maxilar y mandibular (esta última compensada con una cadena de titanio). Se realizó rehabilitación protésica bimaxilar, teniendo en cuenta la asimetría facial, la limitación de movimiento mandibular y la disminución de los procesos alveolares. El tratamiento fue enfocado principalmente en mejorar la función masticatoria, fonética y estética, que en conjunto son determinantes en la cotidianidad del paciente y su calidad de vida.Rehabilitación híbrida realizada en paciente con síndrome de Goldenhar.
