Cervical vertebrae lateral roentogenography was assessed in 30 patients with pharyngolaryngeal disconfort (PL-D),30 with vertigo (V) and 20 malignant tumors (T).<BR>The decrease in lordosis was observed in one patient of PL-D group, four o f V group, and one of T group, and constriction was detected in one patient each with PL-D and vertigo. Barsony ossification was found in null patients each in V and T groups. In view of such low frequencies, these parameters are unlikely to be of pathological significance.<BR>The i ncidence of bony eminence formation was similar among the three groups. As alterations in cervical vertebrae tended to cause unusual stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerves and to bring about tightness at the entrance of the esophagus upon swallowing in PL-D group, the onset of symptoms in these patients may be triggered by bony eminence formation. The mean distance between cervical vertevrae and respiratory tract were 11.6 mm in PL-D and V groups compared with 19.5 mm in T group.<BR>The measurement of the precedent distances appears to be useful for screening tumorous morbidity in the outpatients clinic.
