Fig. 1

A 7-year-old case with NF-1 cervical kyphosis. Preoperative JOA score was 14. A-C Preoperative X-rays, CT showed severe kyphosis of 120° with severe dystrophic changes in cervical spine, and MRI demonstrated a mild compression from kyphosis. D After halo-traction, the kyphotic angle gradually improved from 120° to 52°. E-F Cercical kyphosis improved to 17° after surgery, and MRI showed the compression of spinal cord which was decompressed. G X-ray showed a solid bone union and no significant correction loss at follow-up. H-J Pre-op, post-op and latest follow-up clinical photos
