Surgical treatment of scoliosis associated with central core disease: minimizing the effects of malignant hyperthermia with provocation tests. [Journal Article]
J Pediatr Orthop B 2007 May; 16(3):239-42.
We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with thoracolumbar scoliosis and central core disease who had a history of malignant hyperthermia. He had scoliosis with Cobb's angle deteriorating to 67 degrees (thoracic) and 59 degrees (lumbar). A provocation test of general anesthesia was performed to confirm no hyperthermic reaction. Then, he underwent surgical correction by a posterior approach. The thoracic curve was reduced to 38 degrees and the lumbar curve to 42 degrees . He has been followed up for 2 years without any complications. This is the first report with a detailed description of perioperative management on surgical treatment of scoliosis associated with central core disease.
