Among the hereditary affections of the nervous system associated with deafness, a rare condition called progressive pontobulbar palsy with deafness is described. In this slowly progressive condition, hearing loss and vestibular areflexia are almost always the 1st symptoms, occurring in late childhood or early adulthood. Only 18 cases, some sporadic, several familial, were published without a full report of pathological findings. The clinical and pathological data of 2 new cases, 1 familial, 1 sporadic, are described. There are differences from other forms of bulbar paralysis, lower motor neuron diseases and some spinocerebellar hereditary affections. In view of the homochrony and homotypy in familial cases and the pathological findings, progressive pontobulbar palsy with deafness appears to be an abiotrophic process with autosomal recessive inheritance.
