Since 2016, several systematic reviews have investigated the clinical value of CN VII tractography in VS, and all reported a “success rate” of at least 87% for predicting the pre-operative CN VII position. Yet in clinical practice, CN VII tractography has not yet been widely adopted into routine clinical practice. We suspected that underlying methodology and reporting metrics for existing tractography algorithms may be overestimating success rate.
