How did intraoperative neuromonitorization prevent tetraplegia?

Patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) have many risk factors for myelopathy and paresis. These are spinal cord compression, bone stenosis, and soft tissue thickening with ligament laxity, deformity, odontoid hypoplasia, and atlantoaxial instability. Although most patients with MPS IVA appear generally healthy at birth, patients often show skeletal deformities within a few years.
