ENT symptoms due to disorders of the cervical spine are rarely caused by pathological lesions of the cervical spine that can be demonstrated by radiography, but are mostly caused by functional disorders of the upper cervical spine. They include: globus symptoms and dysphonia; pain syndromes in the head and neck; and otoneurological disorders. ENT symptoms resolve as soon as the function of the cervical spine and vertebral joints has returned to normal.

Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is an extremely rare vascular disease that is easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. It is usually secondary to intravenous drug abuse, prolonged central venous catheterization or deep head-neck infections or trauma. Associated malignancies, either known or occult, are also uncommon and not well documented in the etiology of IJV thrombosis. A previously healthy, 48-year-old man presented to our Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department with pain and swelling of the right side of the neck, which had been going on for a period of 9 days, with the absence of any other ENT symptoms. Examination of his neck showed swelling and tenderness along the anterior border of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. An ultrasound scan of the neck confirmed right IJV thrombosis. Further investigation to determine the cause for the thrombosis revealed two coincidental malignancies: prostate and lung. This shows that every patient with spontaneous thrombophlebitis must undergo a careful history, a complete physical examination and a thorough investigation to avoid missing or delaying the diagnosis of a hidden malignancy.
