Neurosurgical and Neurovascular Procedures
Intraoperative Monitoring is routinely used to aid the surgeon in neurosurgical and neurovascular procedures including:
- Supra- and Infratentorial tumor resection.
- Vascular neurosurgery including vascular malformations (AVM, venous and atriovenous fistulae, angioma resection) and aneurysms
- Temporal lobe resection for epilepsy surgery
- Cranial nerve decompression for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm
- Deep brain stimulation for treatment of movement disorders
- Peripheral nerve integrity
- Tethered cord syndrome
- Recurrent laryngeal nerve integrit
- Spinal cord tumors (intra- and extra-medullary tumor resection)
- Arnold-Chiari malformation
Cerebral integrity is monitored using:
- EEG
- SSEP
- DCS
- NIRS
- TCD
Brainstem integrity is monitored using:
- SSEP
- Tcemep
- BAER
- 4th ventricle mapping (EMG)
Peripheral and cranial nerve integrity may be monitored with:
- EMG
- Direct nerve stimulation
- TceMEP
- BAER
