Zusammenfassung:A young man presented with quadriparesis due to severe kyphosis of the cervical spine. In the first posterior operation, the spinal cord was decompressed by laminectomies and posterior partial corpectomy through bilateral translateral mass and transforaminal approach followed by posterior stabilization and fusion. In the second operation, the cervical spine was stabilized and fused through an anterior approach. The patient recovered completely from his neurological deficit with very minimal neck movements. We report this case to describe the bilateral translateral mass and transforaminal partial posterior cervical corpectomy for spinal cord decompression followed by posterior and anterior stabilization and fusion.
