Barré–Liéou syndrome is a traditional medical diagnosis that is not utilized frequently in modern medicine.
[1] It is a complex combination of symptoms, amounting to a headache syndrome, that was originally hypothesized to be due to cervical spondylosis.
[1][2][3] Barré–Liéou syndrome is regarded by many current medical researchers as synonymous with cervicogenic headache.
An MRI study may also be conducted to rule out any structural problems in the neck which may be the cause of this syndrome.
[5] Some of the treatments for this disorder consist of sympathetic nerve blocks, physical therapy, neck brace and traction.
