Relating to both the cervix or cervical region and the ear or auricular region, describing anatomical structures or nerve pathways connecting these areas.
From Latin cervix (neck) plus auricular (relating to the ear); a medical anatomical term describing how the cervical and auricular regions relate through shared nerve networks.
The cervicoauricular nerve is actually responsible for sensations in parts of your ear—which explains why sometimes neck problems can cause ear pain, a perfect example of how anatomy is connected in surprising ways.
