The orthodromic facial nerve action potential (FNAP) is a reliable method for assessing facial nerve function, showing high reliability comparable to compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs). This technique provides valid data for clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Facial nerve action potential (FNAP) assessment is crucial for evaluating facial nerve function.
  • Reliability of intratemporal FNAP recording requires validation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the reliability of orthodromic facial nerve action potential (FNAP) recordings.
  • To compare FNAP reliability with compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs).

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 10 patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma resection.
  • Recorded intratemporal FNAPs and simultaneous CMAPs.
  • Assessed test-retest reliability of both waveforms.

Main Results:

  • FNAP amplitudes were larger than CMAP amplitudes (2.60 mV vs. 1.07 mV).

  • CMAPs showed less variability in replicate and test-retest error.
  • FNAPs demonstrated higher subject variance but superior overall reliability (0.995 vs. 0.982).

    • Conclusions:

    • Orthodromic FNAP, recorded intratemporally, is a reliable waveform.
    • This technique is a valid method for assessing facial nerve function.
    • FNAP offers a dependable measure for intraoperative facial nerve monitoring.
