## Abstract Patternβreversal visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were measured serially in two brothers with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy during the active phase of the disease. VEP latency and configuration were normal prior to the onset of visual symptoms. The earliest abnormalities consisted

Abstract
From a kinship with a dominantly inherited motorβsensory neuropathy, we studied 2 brothers with brainstem auditory evoked potentials and behavioral audiometric tests. They had abnormal prolongation of IβIII interpeak intervals. Wave V was poorly developed. Conventional audiometric tests did not reveal a peripheral hearing loss. It is probable that their auditory nerves and spiral ganglia are undergoing a pathophysiological process analogous to that of their peripheral nerves.
