Pediatrics - Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Pediatric Neurosurgery

This episode delves into the critical role of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in pediatric vascular neurosurgery. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature and an institutional case series published in "Child's Nervous System" in 2026 (full text used), we discuss the study's design, patient population, and key findings regarding the effectiveness and safety of IONM in this specialized field. The discussion highlights practical implications for pediatric neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, and neurophysiologists, emphasizing how IONM can optimize surgical outcomes and minimize neurological deficits in young patients.
