Pitfalls in Trigeminal Nerve Mapping in Neurosurgery: The Mystery of the Unexpected Motor Responses
A stimulation protocol starting at 0.05 mA and increasing to at least 1 mA or until compound muscle action potentials are observed in trigeminally innervated muscles is recommended for accurate TN mapping in CP angle surgery. These results may be helpful to avoid misinterpreting reflex responses in non-TN-innervated muscles.
