[Spinal deformities after laminectomy in children].
The authors discuss the problem of spinal deformity developing after laminectomy in the light of treated case. Clinical observations and literature survey indicate the necessity of orthopaedic consultation before operations impairing stabilization of the spine. Laminectomy, particularly with disturbance of the stability of articular processes is an indication to spondylodesis, and the presence of kyphosis and absence of posterior spinal elements are the primary indication to anterior spondylodesis.
