Scoliotic patients with Friedrich’s ataxia may show no response during the intra operative neuromonitoring by using MEP or SEP. A wake-up test setting must be planned with anesthesiology team to be done intra operatively for this subset of population to ensure the safety of the spinal procedure. To overcome such circumstances further and to plan the surgery in that fashion, pre-operative baseline neuromonitoring should be obtained in such neuromuscular scoliosis cases.
