Localization of macroscopically undetectable intramedullary hematoma by intraoperative epidural motor evoked potential.
Abstract
Intramedullary hematoma is an uncommon, serious neurological disease, representing a diagnostic challenge. The preferred treatment is surgical. In most of the cases the lesion can be identified macroscopically. Otherwise, finding the optimal place to perform myelotomy is demanding. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring plays an important role in preventing surgical complications, but its versatility for localization has not been studied so far.
