Popis: Rowley's syndrome is characterized by 1) lateral cervical fistulae 2) preauricular fistulae and 3) mixed deafness. We found 6 cases of this syndrome in one family consisting of 25 individuals in 4 generations.Audiological evaluations of 5 cases demonstrated that one was completely deaf while the other four had bilateral, asymmetrical, mixed hearing loss. It was thus postulated that the anomaly of ossicles associated with the inner ear disorder were the probable causes of deafness. This syndrome appears to be inherited in autosomal dominant pattern with variable expressivily.
