Abstract

The paper presents a clinical case of surgical treatment for kyphoscoliotic spinal deformity complicated by neurological disorders due to multiple developmental abnormalities of the thoracic spine. Surgery included spinal cord transposition and correction with third-generation segmental instrumentation. Transposition of the spinal cord resulted in significant increase in the spinal canal volume and improvement of its shape, and facilitated the elimination of the spinal cord compression and the complete regression of neurological symptoms. This allowed performing the required correction of severe kyphosciliosis and reducing the risk of trunk imbalance, deformity progression and late instrumentation failure after surgery.
