Abstract

The occurrence of neurologic symptoms after cervical manipulation(Chuna treatment) seems to be an uncommon event considering the large number of manipulations performed. The precise incidence is unknown, for only patients with serious complications seek medical care. We recently experienced a 3D-year-old woman who developed sudden neurologic complications after cervical Chuna treatment by a nonprofessional therapist. Whether the manipulation is the major causative factor in the subsequent stroke can be disputable and must be considered in each case. Physicians and patients, however, should be aware that cerebrovascular accidents may occur as a result of cervical manipulation.
