耳鼻咽喉科領域の訴えをもつ循環器障碍の症例

　まえがき

　吾々耳鼻咽喉科専門医を訪れる患者の訴えの大部分は当該領域疾患の存在により，容易に理解されるが，極めて少数例では如何にしても，これを説明づけるに足る専門領域の疾患を見出し得ない場合がある。このような場合に一応専門領域の検索を離れて，観察の目を拡く患者の全身に向け丹念な検査をすると，案外他領域の疾患の存在に由来せることを発見し得ることが少なくない。余は之等症例のうち，その訴えが循環器障碍の存在に基因すると確認せられた10症例を茲に報告する。

NAKAGAWA reports 10 cases of disease the symptoms of which under ordinary circumsta-nces would be regarded as belonging to the fi-eld of otolaryngology but, they were found to be based on cardiovascular disturbances which existed at the same time. Outstanding among them were dyspnea, sore throat, Meniere's synd-rome and fullness of the head. The author so-unds a warning attention that unless proper measures be taken with presence of such symp-toms on top of a history of of organic disturb-ances in the cardiovascular system fhere is a great possility of the patient falling under a serious consequences any time at later date.
