Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity characterized by threedimensional spinal curvature, affecting primarily adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18. While the exact etiology remains unclear, the condition can progress to significant spinal deformity, necessitating surgical intervention. Surgical correction of spinal deformity poses a risk of neurological injury, emphasizing the importance of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) to safeguard against potential complications.
