Abstract

A dilated atonic stomach as part of neuromuscular or syndromic disorders can have devastating results after scoliosis surgery. Patients can be asymptomatic preoperatively and non-clinical signs can be easily overlooked. Awareness of the condition, however, can prevent severe complications such as aspiration.
