Figure 1.

A 45 year‐old man had 4‐years of intermittent, progressively worsening neck pain combined with weakness in all extremities for 1 year. (A) Preoperative MR imaging shows that the cervical discs have protruded at C3‐4, C4‐5, C5‐6, compressing the spinal cord at the involved levels. (B) A preoperative lateral radiograph shows straightening of cervical lordosis. (C, D) After performing 4‐levels laminectomy with posterior screw‐rod fixation, improvement in intervertebral height and cervical lordosis is apparent.
