Case:
A 12-year-old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) underwent posterior spinal arthrodesis (from T2 to the sacrum) for double major-curve scoliosis. She developed complete paralysis of all of the extremities 24 hours after surgery, without evidence of ischemia or infarction. The rods were removed, and the neurologic status improved; there was full restoration of strength within 1 week. She then underwent in situ fixation. At the 2-year follow-up, there had been no lapse in neurologic function.
Conclusion:
Reversible, distraction-induced neurologic deficits can occur outside of the instrumented spinal segment after corrective scoliosis surgery, particularly in patients with ligamentous laxity, as seen with OI.
