Background: Intraoperative neuromonitoring of motor functions experienced a dramatical revolution in the last years thanks to significant advances in anesthesiology procedures and both preoperative and intraoperative mapping techniques. Asleep, awake, and combined intraoperative mapping techniques were responsible for an improvement in the functional outcomes in neurosurgery, providing reliable and reproducible mapping of both projection and association fibers involved in motor control.
Methods: We report inter-M1 cortico-cortical evoked potential (CCEP) recording during asleep resection of a bilateral parasagittal meningioma with intraoperative neuromonitoring and motor mapping.
Results: CCEPs were recorded between both M1 cortices with bipolar stimulations of both supplementary motor areas (10.5-11.5 μV).
Conclusions: Here, we provide evidence of intraoperative mapping of commissural fibres involved in motor control in a patient with asleep technique as well as a review of the potential tracts involved in the connectivity underlying the motor function.

Anatomical Characterization of the Motor Branch to the Fourth Lumbrical: A Cadaver Study.

Purpose: The branching pattern of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve (DBUN) in the hand is complex. The anatomy of the motor branch innervating the fourth lumbrical (4L), where paralysis results in a claw hand deformity after ulnar nerve injury, is not well defined. This cadaver study focused on mapping and defining anatomical landmarks in relation to the motor branch to the 4L.

This prospective pilot study examined the association between microorganisms and knee osteoarthritis by identifying pathogens in the synovial membrane, synovial fluid, and blood samples from two patients with primary bilateral knee osteoarthritis, using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Intraoperatively, during routine knee arthroplasty procedures, we collected the following 12 samples from each patient: two synovial membrane samples, two synovial fluid samples, and two venous blood samples. After DNA isolation and library construction, each sample was subjected to deep whole-genome sequencing using the DNBSEQT17 platform with the read length PE150 as the default.

Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is characterized by contralateral akinesia and mutism, and frequently occurs following resection of tumors involving the superior frontal gyrus. The frontal aslant tract (FAT), involved in functional connectivity of the supplementary area and other related large-scale brain networks, is implicated in the pathogenesis of, and recovery from, SMA syndrome. However, intraoperative neuromonitoring of the FAT is inconsistent and poorly reproducible, leading to a high rate of postoperative SMA syndrome.

Background: Metastatic intramedullary spinal cord metastases (IMSCMs) constitute <2% of spinal cord tumors. IMSCM is a late-stage manifestation of cancer with a highly variable presentation and poor survival rate. Here, we present an operative video involving gross total resection of an IMSCM (i.

Despite significant advancements in bioimaging technology, only a limited number of fluorophores are currently approved for clinical applications. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the first FDA-approved near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore and has significantly advanced clinical interventions over the past three decades. However, its single-channel imaging at 800 nm emission is often insufficient for capturing comprehensive diagnostic information during surgery.
