Implication

May miss postoperative deficits; leaves open whether multimodal monitoring improves detection in neurosurgery.

Structured PICO

P
Population
6 patients who demonstrated postoperative neurological deficits
I
Intervention
Intraoperative monitoring with somatosensory evoked potentials
O
Outcome
Postoperative neurological deficits despite unchanged somatosensory evoked potentials

Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential monitoring has limitations and may fail to detect some intraoperative mishaps leading to postoperative neurological deficits.
