Pontobulbar palsy and neurosensory deafness (Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome) with possible autosomal dominant inheritance.

The patient's father, a paternal uncle, and possibly a paternal first cousin had neurosensory deafness and a paternal aunt had clinical symptoms indicative of the syndrome. This family raises the possibility that the disorder is genetically heterogeneous with autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant forms. Alternatively, it cou...

متن کاملPonto-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...
متن کاملA Brazilian family with Brown-Vialetto-van Laere syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance.
We report the first Brazilian family with Brown-Vialetto-van Laere syndrome. The presence of consanguineous marriages and illness affecting three sisters and one niece support an autosomal recessive transmission. The age at onset of the illness ranged from 12 to 20 years old. The time interval between hearing loss and involvement of other cranial nerves varied from 3 to 12 years. MRI demonstrat...
متن کاملBulbo-pontine paralysis with deafness: the Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome.
A Caucasian girl developed slowly progressive sensory neural deafness and bulbar and spinal muscle weakness typical of the Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome. As the condition progressed the major disabilities became dysphagia, respiratory muscle weakness and postural hypotension. Treatment with gastrostomy feedings, oxygen and fludrocortisone acetate produced worthwhile functional improvement.
