Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during surgery for tethered cord syndrome.
AIM The tethered cord syndrome refers to a variety of lesions that can cause the conus medullaris to be low-lying or incapable of movement within the spinal canal. Permanent or temporary neurological complications were reported following surgical release. In this report, peri- and postoperative results in cases with tethered cord syndrome that were followed by multimodal intraoperative neurophy...
متن کاملIntraoperative spinal cord monitoring for intramedullary surgery: an essential adjunct.
Intraoperative monitoring of the functional integrity of the spinal cord during removal of intramedullary spinal cord lesions is an aid in intraoperative decision making and a primary tool for the prediction of neurological outcome. Motor evoked potential monitoring has become the neurophysiological monitoring technique of choice for that purpose. In the senior author's experience with over 130...
متن کاملIntraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during spine surgery: an update
Purpose of review Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) during spine surgery has dramatically evolved over the past decade. A number of techniques have been recently proposed to monitor motor evoked potentials (MEPs), but contradictory results have been published, questioning their reliability to assess specifically the functional integrity of the motor pathways. The aim of the re...
متن کاملMultimodal Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Spinal Cord Surgery.
AIM Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) monitors the functional integrity of critical neural structures by electrophysiological methods during surgery. Multimodality combines different neurophysiological methods to maximize diagnostic efficacy and provide a safety margin to improve the outcomes of spinal surgery. Our aim was to share our intraoperative monitoring experiences wit...
متن کاملIntraoperative monitoring during vascular surgery.
The principal objectives of intraoperative monitoring are to improve perioperative outcome, facilitate surgery and reduce adverse events, using continuously collected data of cardiopulmonary,neurologic and metabolic function to guide pharmacologic and physiologic therapy. Although sophisticated and reliable apparatus may be used to collect these data they are useless, or even harmful, without p...
