title: [Neurologic complications of surgery of the spine in adults].
abstract: Spine surgery exposes to neurological complications. There were 170 immediate complications of spine surgery at Pitiè-Salpétrière Hospital out of 2,855 reviewed (5.95%) during 9 years. The nature of the complication (radicular or medullar), severity and evolution were quite different but less than 2.76% where permanent. Among them, 1.43% were major neurological complications. The "high risk" etiologies were cervical stenosis and primitive malignant tumors. The major cause for these complications was due to surgical procedure in 60% of the cases.
