Resumen (ES)

Surgical correction of spinal deformities entails a risk of medullary damage, an this can be higher when a medular pathology is associated. In last years, intraoperative neurological complications have decreased thanks to the intraoperative monitoring of neurophysiological parameters. In this work, we review a patient with scoliosis secondary to syringomyelia. The use of somatosensory evoked potentials during surgery allowed to avoid irreversible neurological complications.
