Background: A few studies had reported the spinal deformity associated with neurological symptoms in PRS patients.
Objective: To report the management of myelopathy fromflexible thoracic kyphoscoliosis in Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) patient.
Material and method: A 15-year-old PRS patient with thoracic kyphoscolsis developed myelopathy symptom for 4 months. Posterior instrumentation (Cotrel-Dubousset) from T1-T9 was done to correct her deformity without decompression.
Results: Her motor power improved to grade 5/5 two months after operation. Her urological symptom returned to normal at 4-month postoperatively.
Conclusion: Myelopathy from flexible kyphotic deformity in PRS patients can be successfully treated by posterior correction and fusion without decompression.
