  ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease deadly. In Africa, little data exists on this condition and the form familial is the most common with a younger age of onset. Our observations relate to three brothers, born from a consanguineous marriage. The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was certain placed in all patients according to the criteria of Awaji. The average age of patients was 16.66 years, and the average age of onset of symptoms was 10.33 years old. The female gender was the most represented with a sex ratio of 0.5. Our patients benefited from rilusole, vitamin D and physiotherapy. A only patient presented with dysphagia. However, no cases have been observed at this day.
