Summary
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) electrode placement can cause globe penetration. Image guidance and patient education are crucial to prevent this serious complication during lateral rectus muscle electrode insertion.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurosurgery
- Neurophysiology
Background:
- Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is essential for complex surgeries like medulloblastoma resection.
- Accurate electrode placement is critical for effective IONM, particularly in pediatric patients.
