    A new, simple electro-oculography method under propofol anesthesia reliably monitors ocular motor nerves during skull base surgery. This technique aids in preserving nerve integrity and detecting potential damage during complex procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Preserving ocular motor nerve integrity during skull base surgery is critical.
    • Existing electrophysiological monitoring methods are complex and not widely adopted.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple, reliable method for intraoperative monitoring of ocular motor nerves.
    • To enhance the safety of skull base surgeries involving these nerves.

    Main Methods:

    • Electro-oculography (EOG) was employed under total intravenous anesthesia with propofol.
    • Intracranial stimulation of ocular motor nerves with monopolar electrodes.
    • Recording wave polarity using surface electrodes around the eyeball.

    Main Results:

    • Precise localization information for the oculomotor and abducent nerves was obtained.
    • Continuous monitoring detected spontaneous ocular movements, indicating potential invasive procedures.
    • The method was successfully applied in 12 cases of tumors near ocular motor nerves with excellent outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • This simplified EOG method offers a reliable approach for preserving ocular motor nerve function during skull base surgery.
    • The technique provides real-time feedback, crucial for surgical decision-making and patient safety.
