Abstract:

This article describes the case of a 9-year old boy that slipped from a changing table onto his occiput at the age of 2 months. Due to migraine, sleep disorders, anxiety and autoaggression an electroencephalography (EEG) was performed to exclude cerebral seizures. This showed an intermittent slow-wave focus in the occipito-temporal region. During osteopathic manual therapy a somatic dysfunction presenting as “locked cranium” was found and treated in the ipsilateral occipito-mastoideal suture and in the spheno-basilar synchondrosis. Following osteopathic manual therapy and manipulation of the atlas the slow-wave focus was no longer seen and the symptoms resolved. There are no reports of an effect of sutural dysfunction of the scull on measurable potential differences of the brain causing a slow-wave focus on EEG. Due to functional variability of the EEG and other influencing factors this case hypothesizes, but cannot prove, a correlation. A possible therapeutic effect on the brain’s electrical field by improving dural tension, perfusion, diffusion, local brain metabolism and autonomous regulation is discussed as a potential mode of action. This needs further scientific workup.
