title: [Deafness and autoimmunity].
abstract: The etiology of a perception deafness cannot be determined in most cases. The autoimmune origin of some of them appears now to be increasingly possible, particularly when they form part of a disease affecting multiple systems. Three cases of this type are presented in an attempt, by analogy, to define the pathogenicity and criteria of the isolated "dysimmune" audiovestibular manifestations.
