In Africa, little data has been published in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We conducted a retrospective survey among the in-patients from December 1993 to March 2000 in the Department of Neurology of the University Hospital. This study reported epidemiological and clinical data of ALS. ALS has been diagnosed by El Escorial criteria. 33 patients were 16 to 77 years old. Parental consanguinity was found in 15.2%. On the basis of diagnosis criteria, ALS in our patients were established in 57.6% of cases, probable in 30.3% of cases, possible in 9.12% and suspected in 3% of cases. Evolution after hospitalisation is unknown for the majority of patients. Only one patient died after 12 months of evolution.
