Some Etiologies of Cranial Primary Respiratory Dysfunction

Sarkin JMDig Chiro EconJan/Feb 1991; 33: 52

There are several ways in which dysfunction of the cranial primary respiratory mechanism can develop. Some, such as trauma to the skull, are quite obvious. Others, such as dysfunction in a body part remote from the head, are less apparent. This discussion will review some of the various causes of cranial dysfunction for a clearer understanding of how primary respiratory problems can develop. Some etiological causes of cranial primary respiratory dysfunctions are introduced such as: genetic (inborn errors of metabolism), trauma (birth, perinatal, accidents, occupational) and malocclusion.
