Infantile progressive bulbar palsy

Definition:

Infantile progressive bulbar palsy is a rare neurological disorder that occurs in children. Infantile progressive bulbar palsy presents as following two forms. The Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome (BVVLS) is characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy associated with sensorineural deafness. The same clinical presentation without deafness is also known as Fazio Londe disease. Both are caused by mutation in the RFT2 gene.
