Interpretation and Strategy to Resolve Neuromonitoring Changes Associated With Brain Sag
Brain sag is commonly encountered during the resection of large or deep-seated tumors. Improved understanding of the spatiotemporal electrophysiological signatures of brain sag and application of the saline infusion technique to reverse false-positive drops in neuromonitoring signals improves the utility of IONM and enhances safe resection.
