Surgical treatment of scoliosis associated with syringomyelia with no or minor neurologic symptom
European Spine Journal(2015)
Abstract
Syringomyelia with coexisting intraspinal abnormities is thought to increase the risk of neurologic injury during surgical correction of the scoliosis. However, surgical treatment for intraspinal abnormities carries significant morbidity risks including worsening neurological function and wound complications. The authors’ aim in this study was to evaluate one-stage posterior correction of scoliosis in this patient population without prophylactic surgical treatment for neural axis malformations before scoliosis correction.
