What is it about?
Kimmerle's anomaly may be the possible cause of chronic tension-type headaches and neurosensory-type hearing loss in a patient with a known history of headaches and accompanied unilateral hearing loss. The headaches demonstrate the characteristics of the chronic tension-type.

Why is it important?
Chronic headache and neurosensory hearing loss may be associated with congenital malformations of the cervical spine.
Perspectives
The investigation of the cervical vertebrae as well as the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial area by neuroimaging may have a substantial diagnostic value in cases of chronic headache and hearing loss.
