[Functional disorders of the craniocervical transition and ENT symptoms--a status determination]

ENT symptoms due to disorders of the cervical spine are rarely caused by pathological lesions of the cervical spine that can be demonstrated by radiography, but are mostly caused by functional disorders of the upper cervical spine. They include: globus symptoms and dysphonia; pain syndromes in the head and neck; and otoneurological disorders. ENT symptoms resolve as soon as the function of the cervical spine and vertebral joints has returned to normal.
