[The acute cervical vertigo under otologic and osteopathic view (author's transl)]

The acute cervical vertigo with the single symptome of rotary vertigo is most probably caused by a functional disturbance in the upper third of the cervical spine. Distinct patho-anatomical changes could not be observed. The findings on the cervical spine are based on an osteopathic examination. The therapy of choice is a manipulation. Three cases are reported.
