Somatosensory cortical evoked potentials showed a slight decrease in amplitude after scoliosis surgery. However, no significant neurological changes were observed, indicating the procedure

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis affects spinal alignment in adolescents.
  • Spine fusion and instrumentation are common surgical treatments.
  • Monitoring neurological function during surgery is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate somatosensory cortical evoked potentials (SEPs) during posterior spine fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.
  • To assess the correlation between SEP changes and neurological outcomes.
  • To determine the clinical significance of SEP amplitude and latency variations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 99 pediatric patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion.
  • Recording of SEPs via scalp electrodes during tibial nerve stimulation.

  • Analysis of SEP signal changes in 30-minute intervals post-correction.

    • Main Results:

    • No postoperative neurological deficits were observed.
    • Average latency values remained stable.
    • A statistically significant, though small, decrease in the first two interpeak amplitudes occurred within 30 minutes post-correction.
    • The first interpeak amplitude recovered, while the second remained decreased.
    • No patient experienced a >50% sustained decrease in both amplitudes.

    Conclusions:

    • SEP interpeak amplitudes may transiently decrease after scoliosis deformity correction.
    • Significant individual variability in SEP responses exists.
    • No association was found between sustained amplitude decreases and uncomplicated deformity correction.
    • Continuous SEP monitoring aids intraoperative decision-making.
