    AbstractWe have studied 22 consecutive cases of posterior cervical osteotomy done at the Toronto East General Hospital between October 1967 and November 1973. The anaesthetic management is discussed in some detail and consists of psychological preparation of the patient, and neuroleptanalgesia with infiltration with local anaesthetic by the surgeon. The reasons for this choice of technique have been discussed in some detail. There were no deaths during operation, but one patient suffered collapse on the table, which was thought to be due to air embolism. One patient died three weeks post-operatively of pulmonary embolism. Experience in anaesthetizing patients who require operation after previous posterior cervical osteotomy is mentioned briefly and techniques are recommended for successful management of such cases.
