Neurophysiological identification and differentiation between the motor and sensory roots in pediatric spinal cord lipoma surgery
Intraoperative mapping with the double-train paradigm reliably differentiated between motor and sensory nerve roots. Informing the surgeon on the specific function of a tethering root may help to maximize resection without risking major neurological deficits.
