A 35‐year‐old male patient with proximal‐type CSA at the C4/5 level. (A) The pre‐operative X‐rays of the cervical spine showing narrowed intervertebral space of the C4/5. (B) Sagittal T2‐weighted magnetic resonance image showing cord compression at the C4‐C5 space; (C) Axial T2‐weighted magnetic resonance image at the C4‐C5 space showing impingement against the right ventral nerve root and anterior horn, with no abnormal signal intensity in the spinal cord. (D) CT of the cervical spine show that the center of the C4/5 disc protrudes to the right, the outlet of the right nerve root is narrowed. (E) postoperative lateral X‐ray of the cervical spine showing that the internal fixation is firm. (F) Follow‐up at 3 months, X‐ray of the cervical spine showing that the internal fixation is firm and the bony fusion is formed.
