Abstract

Posterior spinal surgery has the risk of perioperative respiratory complications. We describe the delayed diagnosis of an intraoperative pneumothorax in a teenage girl with idiopathic scoliosis scheduled for thoracolumbar posterior fusion. After an uneventful surgery, the oxygen saturation abruptly decreased to 65%. A chest x-ray showed a moderate pneumothorax.
