Epileptiform Attacks Apparently of Ponto-Bulbar Origin

Ponto-bulbar palsy with deafness (Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome).

The syndrome described by Brown(l) Vialetto(2) and Van Laere(3) is a rare, often familial, characterized by bilateral nerve deafness followed or accompanied by involvement of various motor cranial nerves, e.g., 7th and 9th to 12th, rarely 3rd, 5th and 6th. On rare occasions, there may also be involvement of spinal motor nerves and less commonly of upper motor neurons. The onset of the disease i...

Attacks of dizziness and syncope have been relatively common features in the recorded cases of primary intracardiac tumour and of intracardiac ball thrombus (Wood, 1814; von Recklinghausen, 1885; Schwarz and Biloon, 1931; Gorlitzer, 1934; Elson, 1934; Fawcett and Ward, 1939; Garvin, 1941; Wright, Flynn, and Druet, 1944; Burnett and Davidson, 1945; Evans and Benson, 1948).

A Cerebellar Disorder in Chicks, Apparently of Nutritional Origin

Growing chicks maintained on a diet consisting of milk powder, casein, starch, yeast, cod liver oil, salts and filter paper develop ataxia, tremors, retraction or twisting of the head, clonic spasms of the legs, and stupor. These symptoms may appear suddenly, usually between the 18th and 25th day, and may end in death. If recovery takes place, the chicks may go on to normal development. Definit...

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome, a ponto-bulbar palsy with deafness, is caused by mutations in c20orf54.

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome is a rare neurological disorder with a variable age at onset and clinical course. The key features are progressive ponto-bulbar palsy and bilateral sensorineural deafness. A complex neurological phenotype with a mixed picture of upper and lower motor neuron involvement reminiscent of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis evolves with disease progression. We identified ...
