Bulbo-pontine Paralysis with Deafness: the Vialetto-Van Laere Syndrome

  • J.M. Abarbanel (a1), P. Ashby (a1), A. Marquez-Julio (a1) and K.R. Chapman (a1)
Abstract:

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.
