This case report will present the etiology and treatment process of the peri-operative cardiac arrest during scoliosis correction surgery.
Method: In this report, we present a case of cardiac arrest during posterior correction surgery in a 17-year-old female patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Introduction: Cystathionine-β-synthase deficiency (CBSd) is an inherited metabolic liver disease causing morbidities in eyes, skeleton, brain, and vasculature. Despite its potential lethality due to thromboembolism and liver failure, sole diagnosis of CBSd seemed not to fulfill the enlistment criteria for deceased donor liver transplantation in previous reports.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed three cases of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for pediatric CBSd patients responding poorly to conservative treatment in Beijing Friendship Hospital, and a literature review was performed.
