Can A Cyst On The Right Base Of Skull Cause Cervical Dystonia?
I am a 5 4 weighing 115lbs and have had dystonia for 7 yrs. Noticed a knot on the right side at the base of my skull about a year before the dystonia started. I am getting worse and the knot is getting bigger. Can this cyst cause cervical dystonia?
