Abstract
Objective: We assessed the Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES)-induced Corticobulbar-Motor Evoked Potentials (Cb-MEPs) evoked from Orbicularis Oculi (Oc) and Orbicularis Oris (Or) muscles with FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz, C3/C4-Cz and C5/C6/-Cz stimulation, during IntraOperative NeuroMonitoring (IONM) in 30 patients who underwent skull-base surgery.
Methods: before (T0) and after (T1) the surgery, we compared the peak-to-peak amplitudes of Cb-MEPs obtained from TES with C3/C4-Cz, C5/C6-Cz and FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz. Then, we compared the response category (present, absent and peripheral) related to different montages. Finally, we classified the Cb-MEPs data from each patient for concordance with clinical outcome and we assessed the diagnostic measures for Cb-MEPs data obtained from FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz, C3/C4-Cz and C5/C6-Cz TES stimulation.
Results: Both at T0 and T1, FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz stimulation evoked larger Cb-MEPs than C3/C4-Cz, less peripheral responses from direct activation of facial nerve than C5/C6-Cz. FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz stimulation showed the best accuracy and specificity of Cb-MEPs for clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz stimulation showed the best performances for monitoring the facial nerve functioning, maintaining excellent diagnostic measures even at low stimulus voltages.
Significance: We demonstrated that FCC5h/FCC6h-Mz TES montage for Cb-MEPs in IONM has good accuracy in predicting the post-surgery outcome of facial nerve functioning.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
