Delayed paraparesis after posterior spinal fusion for congenital scoliosis: a case report.

Possible mechanisms of DPND in our patient are spinal cord ischemia due to spinal cord traction caused by scoliosis correction and spinal cord kinking by the pedicle at the concave side. Understanding the possible mechanisms of intra- and postoperative neural injury is essential for appropriate intervention in each situation. Additionally, IONM should be continued to at least skin closure to detect DPND observed in our patient.
