Abstract

Hereditary congenital facial paralysis is rare. This paper presents a pedigree of four generations of a family of about 100 members, nine of whom suffer from congenital facial paresis, three with impaired hearing, and three with both facial paresis and impaired hearing. Heredity is dominant with reduced penetrance.
