Abstract
Because of the increased number of patients with neuromuscular scoliosis receiving intrathecal baclofen therapy, we report a clinical case of withdrawal. We hope to make physicians aware of this potentially serious complication where signs and symptoms may be difficult to interpret due to population characteristics.
