<p>A 38-year-old patient’s preoperative CT scanning shows destructive segments located at the T2/3 segments (a-c). Preoperative MRI shows the tuberculosis focus lies lower than the suprasternal notch level (d). Two-week postoperative antero-posterior and lateral plain radiograph shows the internal instruments in a satisfactory position (e-f). Six-month postoperative CT scanning shows the anterior bone grafting is in a good position but without fusion (g). Five-year postoperative CT scanning demonstrates that the cervicothoracic fusion is consolidated completely (h).
