“…Our CD patients do not differ in mean age of presentation from reported CD patients with RP [3]and MP [2, 4]. Overall, the onset age of RP in our patients and in the CD cases cited in the literature [2, 3, 4]differs only slightly from the peak onset age in pure cervical spondylotic RP [5].…”

“…Overall, the onset age of RP in our patients and in the CD cases cited in the literature [2, 3, 4]differs only slightly from the peak onset age in pure cervical spondylotic RP [5]. In contrast, RP/MP in patients with cerebral paresis tends to occur earlier (mean age for these cases from the table: 38.6 ± 13.2 years, range 12–64 years) than in patients with RP/MP due to degenerative cervical spondylosis [5, 8].…”

“…Table 1 shows the relevant case reports (excluding Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome). Closer inspection reveals differences between RP/MP in focal [4]or segmental CD [2, 3]and in dystonia or athetosis due to cerebral paresis. These differences are most obvious for age at RP/MP presentation, for the interval between the onset of the movement disorder and RP/MP, and for the clinical expression of RP/MP.…”

“…Radicular pain has been observed at a frequency of 31% in one clinical series of 300 cases with primary cervical dystonia (CD), also called spasmodic torticollis [1]. There are only few detailed descriptions about the association of RP and MP in primary CD [2, 3, 4]. According to these figures, we therefore suspected publication bias towards unusual presentation of RP/MP in CD and set up a prospective study about the frequency and characteristics of RP/MP in incident cases of CD.…”

In a prospective series of 34 incident patients with primary cervical dystonia (CD), 6 showed clinical or radiological signs of cervical radiculopathy (RP) or myelopathy (MP) during the course of their movement disorder. Age at onset in these patients was in the range reported for pure spondylotic cervical RP without an accompanying movement disorder. Radiologically, spondylosis was mild in 1 case and absent in 2 cases. The intervals between onset of CD and RP were shorter than in literature reports of RP/MP in dystonic-athetotic patients of cerebral paresis. Clinically, RP/MP in patients with CD mostly appears at mid-cervical levels, whereas cases with cerebral paresis are more frequently affected at higher cervical segments. We propose that RP/MP does not occur more frequently in CD than in pure spondylotic cervical RP.

“…De forma aislada, la laminoplastia ha demostrado eficacia, asociada a la relajación muscular 20 . Posteriormente se comenzaron a utilizar técnicas de descompresión y fusión anterior y/o posterior, con resultados controvertidos, pero no desalentadores 5,6,8,12,15,16 . La descompresión y fusión por vía exclusivamente anterior ha demostrado un buen resultado clínico 17 ; por otro lado en varias series, que han llevado un seguimiento a largo plazo, se ha demostrado fracaso de la artrodesis y reincidencia de los síntomas en un número importante de pacientes.…”
