[Equilibrium troubles with cervical syndrome and their relation with otorhinolaryngology (author's transl)]

The equilibrium troubles occuring in connection with cervical locomotoric diseases and their otorhino-laryngologic relations have been studied in the ORL Department of National Institute of Rheumatism and Medical Hydrology. It has been found that: a) there is no connection between the seriousness of roentgenologic deformations and equilibrium troubles; b) the damage of the periphery is not characteristic; c) the complaints and symptoms are explained by the hypoxia of vestibular kern-areas as well as by damages of receptors in cervical muscles, bands and joints; d) hypotension and other central vascular damages form an important factor in the development of equilibrium troubles.
