Abstract

Paediatric spine surgeries are quite frequently performed these days on patients with congenital spinal anomalies. Correction of congenital spinal deformities, at this early age of life can cause lifestyle modifying changes in young patients, which will help them to live a comparative healthy and disease free life. Spine surgeries are often performed in prone position with aid of Total Intra-Venous Anaesthesia which are better supplemented with Intra-Operative Neuro-Monitoring as they help in improving the desirable outcome of surgeries in children. Here, we report a case of Total Intra-Venous Anaesthesia for release of tethered cord aided with Intra-Operative Neuro-Monitoring, which was managed meticulously without any detrimental complications.
