Relation of diseases of the nervous system with diseases of the upper respiratory tract. M.F. Tsytovich (Vest. Rino-lar.-ot., 1926, No. 4-5)

Abstract

Noting that diseases of the cranial nervous system may result from 1) infection, 2) nutritional disturbances, and 3) disturbances of normal stimuli (reflexes), the author points out that a huge percentage of infectious diseases of the brain and the meninges have their source in the nose and its appendage cavities. Almost all cranial nerves can also be infected from the nose and its appendages.
