Placement of an intrathecal baclofen pump is a common treatment of spasticity in cerebral palsy patients. Though effective, the hardware is prone to malfunction, and multiple revisions are often necessary. Additional complications have also been described, including infection and drug toxicity or withdrawal. The authors report another complication of intrathecal baclofen therapy: accelerated progression of scoliosis after pump insertion. A retrospective chart review was performed on four patients who showed accelerated scoliotic progression after intrathecal baclofen pump insertion for treatment of spasticity. Cobb angles were measured from preoperative and postoperative radiographs to determine the rate of scoliotic degeneration both before and after pump insertion. Although there may not be a direct correlation between intrathecal baclofen and scoliosis, the authors consider the issue important enough to warrant discussion with any patient considering intrathecal baclofen.
