Fazio londe syndrome is commonest characterized by progressive bulbar palsy with weakness of limbs, BVVL has similar features associated with sensorineural deafness. Nathalie syndrome has additional features like cataract, cardiac conduction defects and hypogonadism. Boltshauser syndrome has SNHL and isolated vocal cord paralysis.
