Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome is a variable, autosomal‐dominant disorder of the first
and second embryonic branchial arches, kidneys, and urinary tract. We describe the
phenotype in 45 individuals, highlighting differences and similarities reported in other
studies. Characteristic temporal bone findings include cochlear hypoplasia (4/5 of normal
size with only 2 turns), dilation of the vestibular aqueduct, bulbous internal auditory canals,
deep posterior fossae, and acutely‐angled promontories.© 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
