Abstract
Recently published evidence indicates that there exists a mechanism by which the tongue is connected with the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, pathological lesions of the cervical vertebrae should be considered one of the etioolgical factors of glossopyrosis. Since, as yet, the incidence of glossopyrosis in patients with the cervical syndrome is not known, an attempt was made to investigate the dependence of the intensity of glossopyrosis on the duration of the cervical syndrome. The study was based on the oral cavity findings and the diagnostic program of the ce-vical syndrome in 135 examinees. The intensity and duration of glossopyrosis and of the cervical syndrome were also studied. A statistical analysis of the results has shown that glossopyrosis and the cervical syndrome appeared simultaneously in 26 66% of the examinees and that the intensity of glossopyrosis increased with the duration of the cervica
syndrome.
