[The clinical picture and pathogenesis of cerebral symptomatology in diseases of the cervical region of the spine].

A study of 145 patients with pathology of the cervical region of the spine demonstrated that the cerebral symptomatology in 59% of the cases is due to disorders of circulation in the vertebro-basillar basin, in 31% due to disorders of vascularization of the border-line sympathical trunk and vagus nerve in their cervical region and in 10% -- to a combination of disturbed circulation of stem and vegetative structures. In the first case there is a stability and expressiveness of manifold symptoms in lesions of the stem structure with a disordered vascularization. In the remaining cases -- there are prevalently-lability, inconstant and periodical nature of the symptoms inherent in different areas of the brain.
