The histological findings in the right temporal bone of a 65-year-old deaf and blind man are presented. The subject suffered from the autosomal recessive Usher's syndrome, as did 2 of his 5 siblings. They are the offspring of a consanguineous marriage. This man died from an intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Within 3 h after death the temporal bones were donated for study and were processed for histopathological examination.
