Gopichand T et al. - AThree cases of sudden neurosensorial deafness in Bell’s Palsy have been presented. The authors are of the opinion that this combination is suggestive of the existence of a common factor playing a major role in the pathogenesis of these conditions and as the local vascular disturbance is generally regarded as the chief mechanism, involved in Bell’s Palsy, probably a similar spasmodic lesion in the labyrinthine vessels might be responsible for sudden deafness.
