It results in symptoms including [[dysautonomia]], [[Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome]], [[pain]], [[numbness]], [[apnea]], altered vision, hearing, speech, swallowing and balance, vertigo, [[dizziness]], altered sleep architecture, weakness, [[numbness]] and sensory loss.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Henderson | first = Fraser C. | date = 2016 | title=Cranio-cervical Instability in Patients with Hypermobility Connective Disorders |url =https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/craniocervical-instability-in-patients-with-hypermobility-connective-disorders-2165-7939-1000299.php?aid=71754 | journal = Journal of Spine|language=en | volume = 05 | issue = 02|doi=10.4172/2165-7939.1000299|issn=2165-7939}}</ref> == Symptoms == * [[headache]] * [[dysautonomia]], [[Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome]] * [[pain]], [[numbness]], weakness and sensory loss * [[apnea]] * altered vision (blurring, floaters, spots, scintillation, auras are unusual) * problems with hearing, tinnitus, “As a group, [patients] appear to have a higher incidence of sinusitis/otitis and miringotomy tube placement in childhood." <ref>{{Citation | title = CSF presents Clinical Patterns Seen with Cervical Medullary Syndrome | url =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2cTNY7-LyA|language=en|access-date=2019-09-01}}</ref> * problems with balance, vertigo, [[dizziness]]; longstanding clumsiness; disorientation in vehicles or with movement, e.g., escalators or walking down store aisles * altered sleep architecture * problems with swallowing, speech == Causes == Diagnoses that can cause Cervical Medullary Syndrome include: * [[Chiari malformation|Chiari]] Malformation * [[Craniocervical instability]] * [[Atlantoaxial instability]] * [[Cervical spinal stenosis]] == See also == * [[Cerebrospinal fluid leak]] * [[Intracranial hypertension]] * [[Intracranial hypotension]] * [[Joint hypermobility]]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Henderson | first = Fraser C. | last2 = Austin | first2 = Claudiu | last3 = Benzel | first3 = Edward | last4 = Bolognese | first4 = Paolo | last5 = Ellenbogen | first5 = Richard | last6 = Francomano | first6 = Clair A. | last7 = Ireton | first7 = Candace | last8 = Klinge | first8 = Petra | last9 = Koby | first9 = Myles | date = Mar 2017 | title = Neurological and spinal manifestations of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes |url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28220607 | journal = American Journal of Medical Genetics.
