This syndrome has characteristics of the association of severe congenital colitis with sensorineural deafness. So far, two cases with neonatal onset have been described. Endoscopy reveals a smooth mucosa without ulcerations but histological studies reveal abnormal vacuolated epithelial cells with premature exfoliation within the glandular lumens, accompanied by increased mucus production and an increase in cholinergic fibres within the lamina propria.
