  Case report.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  We report a case of severe hypotension associated with prone positioning in a child with scoliosis and pectus excavatum.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Pectus excavatum is commonly associated with scoliosis and can impact cardiac function.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective case analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After a modified Ravitch procedure to repair the pectus excavatum, the patient was able to undergo posterior spinal fusion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pediatric deformity surgery requires a multidisciplinary approach.
