Corticobulbar motor evoked potentials in brainstem and 4-th ventricle surgery (a case report and literature review)
https://doi.org/10.56618/20712693_2022_14_4_117
Abstract
In the surgical treatment of fossa posterior neoplasms, especially when they are localized in the brainstem and in the fourth ventricle, the use of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring is an obligatory tool for such operations. Corticobulbar motor evoked potentials allow to assess the functional state of the caudal group of cranial nerves in real-time. This article discusses the possibilities of this method in neurosurgery and shows a clinical observation with the use of corticobulbar motor evoked potentials during surgery.
