Syncope: A rare presentation of Cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis commonly presents with its classical symptoms of intermittent neck & shoulder pain, headache with or without neurological deficit. Syncope has been reported in a very few cases of cervical spondylosis. Although rare, syncope and vertigo whenever present in Cervical spondylosis is usually preceded by its classical symptoms. When a patient presents with syncope and vertigo in the absence of other classical symptoms of cervical spondylosis, it is difficult to consider the possibility of cervical spondylosis which may result in delayed diagnosis and further progression of disease. Here, we report a case of 55 years old man who presented to us with syncope and recurrent episodes of vertigo only which on work up was diagnosed as a case of cervical spondylosis.
