Risk Factors for Spinal Cord Lesions in Dystonic Cerebral Palsy and Generalised Dystonia
JNNP 83:159-163, Guettard,E.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
As severity of cervical dystonia and age are the major risk factors for spinal cord lesions, dystonic patients, including patients with dystonic CP, should be screened for CM from the third decade of life onwards. Early recognition of CM is crucial for functional prognosis and impact on autonomy.
