Intraoperative 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 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 کاملDiagnostic Utility of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumors: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the diagnostic utility of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) for detecting postoperative injury in resection of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCT). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Surgical management of IMSCT can involve key neurological and vascular structures...
متن کاملIntramedullary spinal cord tumors in children: localization by intraoperative sonography.
Intraoperative sonography was performed in 20 children in order to localize intramedullary spinal cord tumors. It provided excellent visualization of the extent and consistency of the tumor before surgical opening of the dura mater. The sonographic findings were used in selecting the site and extent of myelotomy. Intraoperative sonography proved to be a valuable adjunct to spinal cord surgery.
متن کاملEvolution and Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Intramedullary Spinal Cord Surgery: A 2-Year Series from Saudi Arabia
Introduction: Despite recent advances in neuroimaging and microsurgical techniques, surgical resection of spinal cord tumours remains a challenge. However, the evolution with advances and refinement of neurophysiological equipment and methodologies, intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is now regarded as an essential adjunct to the surgical management of intramedullary spinal co...
