• The patient presented to us with complaints of severe kyphosis, numbness and pain in the arms.
• The patient, who had a compression fracture due to lower cervical and upper thoracic spine metastases, severe and rigid kyphosis deformity, and nerve root compression, successfully underwent laminectomy to free the nerve roots, correction of kyphosis deformity with multi-level osteotomy, and posterior instrumentation with screw fixation.
• The patient, whose post-operative complaints subsided, returned to his country without any problems.

Before the surgery: Radiological and clinical findings show severe kyphosis deformity.
