Posterior Cervical Sympathetic Syndrome

Posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome (posterior cervical sympathetic neuropathies) or (barre-lieu) is a neurological disease in which there is a disorder of sensitivity and mobility in the back of the neck, occiput and neck. The disease is often associated with inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, such as inflammation of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Anterior cervical sympathetic syndrome (ANS) results in damage to the adjacent central nervous structure, the brachial plexus. This is a disruption of the sympathetic output in the back close to the brachial nerve pathways, which can lead to various complications in the upper back, arms up to the collarbone and shoulder, and the arm, which is mistakenly identified as a symptom of anterior neck syndrome.

Posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome symptoms will include headaches in the neck, back of the head, or shoulders, especially during the day. Movement of the head can lead to a sharp episodic exacerbation of neck pain. Soreness in the back of the arms and neck can also be a major symptom of this condition. This disease can cause sympathopathy and can lead to arrhythmia, hypotension, constipation, anorexia, and insomnia.

Diagnosis of posterior cervical sympathetic symptoms syndrome begins with a physical examination and neurological evaluation. MRI can help confirm diagnostic criteria for the anterior cervical sympathetic nerves, which are tested using local regional temperature.

Doctors decide whether there is a symptom group of people who have skin sensitivity. They also evaluate neuromuscular responses and use specific tests to predict prolapse, arm maladaptation, or muscle weakness. Enhanced motor and sensory assessments are sometimes required to determine the presence of anterior cervical symptoms. Thus, the key element of diagnosis is the neurological evaluation of the physical evaluation to identify the presence of only symptoms up to the neck. Evaluation of any dysfunctions and sympathomas can significantly help in determining the diagnosis of posterior anterior neck sympathoma syndrome.
