Role of Transcranial Motor Evoked Potentials in Anterior and Middle Skull Base Meningiomas Surgery.

This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, explores the role of transcranial motor evoked potentials (t-MEPs) in the surgical resection of skull base meningiomas. The study examines whether t-MEPs monitoring affects postoperative motor function and identifies specific tumor features that may predict intraoperative t-MEPs alteration and postoperative motor deficits. The results show that using t-MEPs monitoring can help reduce the frequency of new-onset postoperative paresis in skull base meningioma surgery, particularly for high-risk locations. The study provides valuable insights for neurosurgeons performing these surgeries. [Extracted from the article]
