My 15 yr old daughter went in a month ago for scoliosis surgery- curves in mid to hi 40's. The surgery was aborted after the doctor made the incision but before proceeding with any instrumentation. In doing the motor check prior to instrumentation, she had no movement in her right leg. An emergency MRI showed a lesion in the chord region from T10 - L1. The doctors can only theorize that due to her scoliosis the space through which her blood vessels to the inner part of her chord at L5 are constricted and with the associated blood pressure drop in anesthesia her blood supply was compromised. She is making a remarkable recovery, now walking and ditching her cane as much as possible. Luckily no muscle or nerve death. We are now not even where we began but three spaces back. I am looking for anyone who has had a similar experience and what was done. Please help.
