[Neurosensory complications of Paget's disease].

The authors made a bibliographic study and report their conclusions with reference to problems concerning a personal series of 17 patients who had undergone an ocular examination, a cranial radiography studying the joint, a bilateral radiotomographic study of the ossicles and of the petrosal bone, an audiogram, and a bilateral electronystagmogram: 1. the rarity of angioid striae, the existence of which, in the view of the authors, does not allow Paget's disease to be included within the framework of the systemized elastorrhexis, 2. the frequency of ocular vascular lesions, 3. deafness is a constant phenomenon, when the cranial arch is affected usually in combination with other lesions ; the deafness is sometimes of transmission or sometimes of perception, but it can precede the cranial lesions. The signs of these can be found radiologically in the chain of ossicles and in the cochlea by means of special projections. The part played by basilar pressure in this deafness is negligible. Labyrinth disorders are rarely met.
