Deafness, sensory neuropathy, and ovarian dysgenesis: A new syndrome or a broader spectrum of Perrault syndrome?

Abstract
We report on 3 sibs (2 males and one female) with sensorineural deafness. The presence of ovarian dysgenesis in the girl suggested a diagnosis of Perrault syndrome. In addition our patients have a sensory polyneuropathy and amelogenesis imperfecta. Two of the patients have mild mental retardation, fine choreatic movements, and dyspraxia. It is discussed whether these findings are part of a separate clinical entity or should be included within the spectrum of the Perrault syndrome.
