Cervical syndrome with otologic syndromes among children

ABSTRACT

Thirty-five sick children with cervical syndrome are studied and the part that the cervical lesions can play in the production and prognosis of cochlear and/or vestibular symptoms, and the complete or partial relief of these symptoms by the therapy for cervical diseases. In combination with characteristic rheoencephalographic findings in certain head positions, it is seen that otologic abnormalities always arose with some hemodynamic changes in the cerebral-cervical blood system. On the basis of clinical materials accumulated in our department, we suggest a system of classification suitable for treating these associated conditions. The mechanism concerning otologic abnormalities associated in cervical disease is also briefly discussed here
