This article reviews the incidence, management, and complications of scoliosis in
patients with cerebral palsy. Treatment of scoliosis in patients with cerebral
palsy includes both nonoperative and operative management and often the decision
to proceed with surgery is a multidisciplinary decision. Because of severe
spasticity, many of these patients undergo intrathecal baclofen pump placement
before, during, or after posterior spinal fusion.
The complication rates can be
high with intrathecal baclofen pump placement, but many patients can have
significant benefit with this therapy.
