Our findings indicate that spinal cord ischemic injury was a significant factor for patients experiencing DPND and distraction after corrective surgery may be a predisposing factor for spinal cord ischemia. Additionally, it is important to consider the possibility of DPND when limb numbness and decreased muscle strength occur within 48 h after corrective scoliosis surgery. Moreover, emergency surgical intervention is highly recommended for DPND caused by mechanical compression factors with a promising prognosis for neurological function, emphasizing the importance of taking into account preoperative orthopedic diagnoses when evaluating the potential for neurological recovery.
