case_images: A 14-year-old child presented 10 months after a C3-C4 laminectomy for an intramedullary cyst (Neurenteric cyst) [Figure 1] with complaints of increasing tetraparesis and neck flexion deformity.
case_images: Sagittal T2 MRI done before the correction surgery. Post laminectomy, severe kyphosis can be seen with the spinal cord compressed and draped over the kyphotic vertebral bodies

case_images: Imaging revealed severe cervical kyphosis with anterior cord compression and a focal syrinx [Figure 2]. The measured Cobbs angle (C3-C5) was 92  [Figures 2 and 3].
case_images: Preoperative computed tomography scan (bone window). The severe anterior wedging of C4 and C5 with a 92 degree kyphotic angulation is seen
