In the last II years, 1598 patients were diagnosed as cervico-omo-brachial symdrome in our clinic. We could classify the various disorders considered as a cause of the cervico-omo-brachial symdrome on the basis of the symdomes, clinical findings and radiograms.In these disorders, there are 450 cases of cervical osteochondrosis (105 cases of myelopathy and 346 cases of radiculopathy), 980 cases of so-called idiopathic cervico-omo-brachial symdrome, 45 cases of thoracic outlet symdrome, 10 cases of spinal cord tumor, 7 cases of spinal tumor, 10 cases of perpheral nerve disorder and one case of Pancoast's symdrome, We discussed radiculopathy and so-called idiopathic cervico-omo-brachial symdrome according to age, sex, occuation, cause, sign and symptoms. By the follow-up studies on those socalled idiopathic cervico-omo-brachial symdromes, we obtained that the symdromes and clinical signs became better in most cases (75 percent) but these were unchanged or became worse in few cases (15 percent).
