Reflex Mechanism in Vertebro-Visceral relations

Other examples of pure reflex mechanism are vertebra-visceral or viscera-vertebral relations. In this type of segmental lesions there are never signs of the true root involvement. Moreover, the influence of spinal lesions on viscera is largely hypothetical. Whereas there appears to be more evidence of influence of visceral lesions on mobile spinal segment (Gutzeit, 1951; Kunert, 1975;Metz, 1976; Schwarz, 1974; Wather, 1963).

Karel Lewit and his collaborators were able to establish something like “Spinal Pattern” for visceral diseases including Peptic Ulcer(Rychlikova & Lewit, 1976), Gynecological affections (Lewit et al, 1970; Novotny & Dvorak, 1972, Novotny, 1973) and Tonsilitis (Lewit & Abrahmovic, 1976).
