Excerpt from Archives of Otology, Vol. 12: Edited in English and German I think the papers by Buck, Brunner, Moos, and Knapp give the idea, that this subject of deafness after mumps has been greatly neglected by the writers on aural medicine and surgery, including myself. But the text books of Toyn bee, Hinton, and Roosa, as well as that of Dalby, really give as much information as that contained in some of the recent papers. The reason for the meagreness of statement is to be found in the fact, that none of us saw these cases, as a rule, until they had run their course. It is only during the last two years, that I have seen a case near enough to its beginning to allow of any accurate study of its etiology. Cases of aural disease after mumps came to us, as do so many cases of deafness after cerebro-spinal meningitis, when all acute symptoms had subsided, and we could only learn of them by hearsay. I am very glad to be able to report an entirely new and acute case in this paper, and one which, in my opinion, is valuable as indicating the causation, treat ment, and prognosis.
