A 49‐year‐old male sustained a T _7–10 lesion with bone destruction and formation of epidural cold abscess and kyphotic deformity was treated by posterolateral decompression and strut grafting with posterior instrumentation. Preoperative ASIA Grade was A grade, and was D grade at the final follow‐up. (A–C) Preoperative radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance images are shown. (D) Postoperative radiography imaging showed that kyphosis angle was corrected by 6°. (E, F) Graft fusion and a 5° loss of correction in local kyphosis angle were seen 1 year postoperatively.
