Extract

Concurrence of the above-named symptoms does not appear to have been reported in the literature. Congenital double athetosis and deaf-mutism usually occur independently of one another. Out of about 1,500 patients at this institution there are 14 with the former condition and 25 with the latter. The relation of the syndrome to its chief constituents may be clarified by a preliminary account of this larger context out of which 3 of the 5 cases here reported are drawn.
