Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in vestibular schwannoma surgery: advances and clinical implications.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has become an integral part of vestibular schwannoma surgery. The aim of this article was to review the different techniques of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in vestibular ... Read more...

Utility of intraoperative electromyography in microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: a meta-analysis.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: In this paper, the authors' goal was to determine the utility of monitoring the abnormal muscle response (AMR) or "lateral spread" during microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm. METHODS: The authors' experience with AMR as ... Read more...

Excessive muscle activity increases over time in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY OBJECTIVES: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by excessive electromyographic (EMG) activity due to dysfunction of the brainstem structures modulating REM sleep atonia. Patients with idiopathic RBD often ... Read more...
