Here we report a case of cervical spondylosis misdiagnosed as cerebral infarction. The patient was a 55-year-old man with a one-day history of weakness in his right extremities. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no acute abnormality, cerevical MRI showed that cervical spondylisis, C4/5, C5/6 disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis and compression of the spinal cord. Then the patient was transferred to the Department of Orthopaedics and underwent surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis. Followed-up for six months, the weakness of his right extremities returned to normal.
