Title: Bezold Jarisch Reflex During Halo-Gravity Traction: Case Report

Abstract

The surgical treatment of severe, high-angle-value spinal deformities is particularly challenging due to difficulties intrinsic to their correction and the risk of neurological injury. Preoperative traction methods have been described to enable gradual correction of the deformities, reducing the complications of an acute correction procedure. Although there are no criteria defined for its indication, its use is considered in curves greater than 100º.

Since Stagnara described the technique, various complications have been described, among them the occurrence of superficial infection and/or loosening of the pins. Transient neurologic deficit, and changes in cranial nerves are rare, but have been reported in several cases.

The author describes a case of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex during halo-gravity traction, as yet not mentioned in the literature.
