Three patients with severe athetoid-dystonic type of cerebral palsy involving the neck musculature developed in their fourth to fifth decade progressive cervical radiculomyelopathy associated with vertebral spondylarthrotic compressive lesions in addition to their long-standing neurological syndrome. It is likely that the late-onset myelopathy is linked to continuous torsion, compression and 'wear and tear' of the cervical spinal cord, induced by the involuntary movements. In 2 patients decompressive cervical spinal surgery was ineffective, suggesting irreversible damage.
三名患有严重手足徐动 - 张力障碍型脑瘫且累及颈部肌肉组织的患者，在其四十到五十岁时，除了长期存在的神经综合征外，还出现了与脊椎关节病性压迫性病变相关的进行性颈神经根脊髓病。迟发性脊髓病很可能与非自主运动引起的颈脊髓持续扭转、压迫和“磨损”有关。在2例患者中，颈椎减压手术无效，提示存在不可逆损伤。
