Abstract: Our aim is to make an overview of cervical spine deformity including biomechanics, radiographic parameters to understand function and normal parameters of cervical spine. We outline classification and types of the deformity and discuss about surgical management and highlight the anterior surgical treatment. Detailed search was conducted throughout the electronic databases; PubMed, and Embase, for relevant studies discussing the neurosurgical management of cervical spine deformity. Studies which are published up to October, 2017. Cervical spine deformity is a complicated issue to manage. A strong understanding of spinal biomechanics and also a functioning knowledge of different cervical radiographic parameters are important elements in making a sound surgical strategy that improves medical result. The goals of surgical treatment must be neural decompression, correction of the deformity and also spinal stabilization with fusion. Methods for correction of cervical spine deformity were fairly different and also relied on pathology.
