A hereditary syndrome with retinopathy and ataxia or deafness in two consanguineous brothers.

Of two brothers born of Sephardic first cousin parents one presented with congenital neural deafness, nyctalopia, visual field loss, flat ERG, unintelligible speech and a shuffling gait, and the other with severe ataxia, severe decreased visual acuity, mild field loss, decreased ERG, dysarthric speech and high grade myopia. The diagnosis of Usher syndrome type 1 or 2 is discussed as well as the possibility that both brothers have different genetic disorders.

[Visual electrophysiology in 101 children with encephalopathy].

The electrophysiological recordings (E.R.G. associated with C.V.E.P.) performed on 101 children suffering from encephalopathy of different origins demonstrate a trend towards retinal integrity for subjects with encephalopathy and no suspicion of acid-base disorders. However a functional macular deficiency is frequently observed in encephalopathy with suspicion of acid-base disorders (encephalopathy due to intracranial hypertension or cardio-vascular disorders or metabolic deficiencies with acid-base disturbance). In these cases, a common pathophysiological substratum with disturbance of the acute or chronic acid-base equilibrium has been assumed. Over a period of time, in fixed encephalopathy, the electrophysiological results reflect a real but slow maturation of the visual pathways.
