Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy undergoing soft tissue and bony procedures often experience pain and spasticity postoperatively. Differentiation of pain from spasticity complicates management, so controlling spasticity with a continuous infusion of baclofen, an antispasmodic, through an already present indwelling epidural catheter holds interest.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of patients with cerebral palsy undergoing single event, multilevel lower extremity surgery at a single institution who received epidural analgesia with or without continuous baclofen infusion.
