[Selected otorhinolaryngological symptoms in functional disorders of the upper cervical spine and temporomandibular joints].
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "HNO"
DOI: 10.1007/s00106-018-0479-4
Abstract: This paper discusses otorhinolaryngological symptoms associated with functional disorders of the upper cervical spine. Hints aimed to avoid misdiagnoses of cross-organ otorhinolaryngological symptoms as phobic or psychogenic disorders are presented. Clinically relevant neuroanatomical convergence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.msard.2022.103713
Abstract: BACKGROUND Upper cervical cord atrophy and lesions have been shown to be associated with disease and disability progression already in early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). However, their longitudinal relationship remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the… read more here.
