T12 pedicle subtraction osteotomy for post-laminectomy kyphoscoliotic deformity following resection of a thoracolumbar astrocytoma in an adolescent with a previous paraplegic context.

Literature is sparse on the management of post-laminectomy kyphoscoliotic deformity after intradural astrocytoma resection. Despite previous paraplegia context, aggressive correction technique such as PSO can be a safe option if proper management of the scar tissues and adhesions is performed, with satisfactory clinical and radiological long-term results.
