Abstract
- Generally, patients who have airway compression with severe kyphoscoliosis can be improved through surgery for the thoracolumbar deformity. However, abnormal thoracic configuration due to severe kyphoscoliosis can cause respiratory distress secondary to severe compression of central airway in uncorrectable case. We tried to elevate the chest wall and obtained relatively good result in case of airway compression with abnormal thoracic configuration which was difficult to correct.
