CLINICAL OBSERVATION OF SO-CALLED O.D. (ORTHOSTATIC DYSREGULATION) AND EPIPHARYNGITIS

Abstract

12 cases of so-called Orthostatic Dysregulation which was apparently caused by inflammation of the nasopharynx were observed and treated. The effect of the local treatment for epipharyngitis suggested an intimate relationship between epipharyngitis and so called Orthostatic Dysregulation. The nasopharyngeal inflammatory condition evokes the attacks of Orthostatic Dysregulation and patients were completely cured by nasopharyngeal treatment. The manifest and latent epipharyngitis is considered to be a very important factor for the occurrence of Orthostatic Dysregulation.
