Pendred's syndrome was described in a Sudanese family and its affected members were studied in details. They were a boy (aged 14 years) and a girl (11 years of age) each showing a goitre, a positive perchlorate discharge test, marked sensorineural deafness and evidence of mild hypothyroidism. This study adds an entity to the congenital dyshormonogenesis recognised so far in the Sudan.
