We performed pure tone audiometry, observation of nystagmus and caloric test on 51 cerebral palsied children. There were 31 spastics and 17 athetoids, the remaining two showed spastic paresis with striking tremor.1. Pure tone audiometry: 15% of spastics and 50% of athetoids represented sensory-neural hearing loss.2. Nystagmus: Gaze, positional and positioning nystagmus were observed. We found nystagmus in 39% of spastics and 56% of athetoids. One of spastics and three of athetoids had sporadic nystagmus-like eye movements, which were not directed to any fixed direction and had a large amplitude.3. Caloric test: 12 of athetoids and 28 of spastics could be examined. We found CP or DP in 18% of spastics and 17% of athetoids.
