USEFULNESS OF INTRAOPERATIVE NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING IN SUPRATENTORIAL BRAIN TUMOUR RESECTION
Abstract:
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is an important technique for the realtime
assessment of the integrity of cerebral sensory and motor tracts and areas during the resection of
supratentorial tumours. Multimodal monitoring focuses on sensory evoked potentials and phase reversal
technique, motor evoked potentials, cortical and subcortical motor mapping. We performed a total of 25
intraoperative neurophysiologic monitorings, confirming the usefulness and safety of this method in
supratentorial brain tumour surgery.
