Abstract: Introduction Surgery-related to lesions in or around the brainstem constitutes a challenge due to the extreme concentration of critical neural structures and the high risk of iatrogenic damage during surgery. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) have… read more here.

Abstract: Background Brainstem surgeries represent a challenge due to the high concentration of nuclei and pathways in a small space. We present 2 cases in which the vagus nerve and lower brainstem’s integrity were assessed by… read more here.
