The authors present the case-history of a female patient who developed during operation of a thoracolumbal scoliotic curve haemorrhagic shock with circulatory arrest due to massive haemorrhage from the spongiosa. After more than six weeks after admission to hospital she developed tense hameothorax from the injured diaphragm caused by the edge of the osteomotized rib of the concavity. The condition was treated by leftesided posterolateral thoracotomy. The authors draw attention to some special features associated with treatment of deformities of the spine. Key words: cardiac arrest, late haemothorax.
