MRI illustrated cord signal change and ventral cord compression [Figures 1 and 2].

MRI illustrated cord signal change and ventral cord compression [Figures 1 and 2]. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the whole spine did not reveal any other anomaly [Figure 2].
Computed tomography scan showed about 86  kyphosis. Furthermore, the size of bony elements was well defined by computed tomography scan

Postoperative cervical kyphosis was 11  and about 85% correction was achieved [Figure 4].
The patient experienced no deficit at postoperative course and orthosis was fixed for her

She was discharged with cervicothoracic orthosis [Figure 5], and after 6-month follow-up, radiographic studies obtained showed evidence of osseous fusion.
