[Critical remarks on so-called cervicogenic vertigo].

K F Hamann

    Laryngologie, Rhinologie, Otologie
    |March 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neck proprioceptors play a secondary role in regulating vestibular functions. Neck-triggered vertigo is rare and requires proof of cervical nystagmus for acceptance.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurophysiology
    • Vestibular System
    • Proprioception

    Context:

    • Investigates the role of neck proprioceptors in vestibular regulation.
    • Critically reviews literature on cervical vertigo.
    • Compares neck proprioceptive influence with vestibular and optokinetic inputs.

    Purpose:

    • To critically review the neurophysiological literature on the role of neck proprioceptors in vestibular function.
    • To evaluate the evidence for cervical genesis of vertigo.

    Summary:

    • Neck proprioceptors are of secondary importance compared to vestibular and optokinetic influences in regulating vestibular functions.
    • The concept of neck-triggered vertigo is not widely accepted due to insufficient evidence, specifically the lack of proven "cervical nystagmus".
    • Vertigo induced by cervical disorders constitutes a very small percentage of all vertigo cases.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the limited role of neck proprioceptors in vestibular control.
    • Emphasizes the need for rigorous evidence, like "cervical nystagmus", to support claims of neck-triggered vertigo.
    • Provides a quantitative perspective on the prevalence of cervical vertigo within the broader spectrum of vestibular disorders.
