Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand deteriorations in intraoperative neuromonitoring data during surgeries for spinal curvature correction in young patients.
- A review of 1,127 patient records found that nonadolescent idiopathic cases showed more neuromonitoring issues, with events often linked to varying surgical stages and primarily affecting motor-evoked potentials.
- The findings highlighted that effective neuromonitoring allows for timely interventions during surgery, reducing the risk of postoperative neurological problems, especially in vulnerable patient groups.
Background And Objectives: Benzodiazepines are the first treatment line in status epilepticus (SE). Despite their well-established benefit, benzodiazepines are frequently underdosed with potential detrimental consequences. In some European countries, clonazepam (CLZ) is commonly used as the first line treatment.

Methods: Electrophysiological raw data and neurophysiological case reports of 1,611 patients from multiple medical centers, who underwent cervical spine surgery for decompression and/or fusion, were retrospectively reviewed. Patient-related and procedure-related variables were identified and analyzed for correlation with intraoperative neurophysiological event of the spinal tracts.
Objective: This study examines and compares excitability characteristics of tibialis anterior (TA) and abductor hallucis (AH) transcranial motor evoked potentials (tcMEP) during anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) surgery.
Methods: Electrophysiological and clinical data of 89 patients who underwent ACDF procedure were retrospectively reviewed. TcMEP data of TA and AH muscles from 178 limbs were analyzed for availability, robustness and stability during the procedure.
