title: Surgical management of neurologically complicated kyphoscoliosis using transposition of the spinal cord: Case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Transposition of the spinal cord made it possible to achieve mobilization of the fixed kyphoscoliosis, significantly increase spinal canal volume and improve spinal canal shape. This helped to eliminate spinal cord compression and achieve complete regression of the existing neurological symptoms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report the clinical case of surgical management of neurologically complicated kyphoscoliotic deformity of the thoracic spine by transposition of the spinal cord and correction using posterior segmental spinal instrumentation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The required correction of severe kyphoscoliosis was performed; the risks of trunk imbalance, deformity progression, and instrumentation failure in the long-term postoperative period were reduced.
  
  
  METHODS
  Level IV - 1 case.
