Correlation between intraoperative mapping and monitoring and functional outcomes following supratentorial glioma surgery by Han-Lin Wu, Po-Cheng Hsu, Sanford P C Hsu, Chun-Fu Lin, Kwong-Kum Liao, Kai-Ming Yang, Chen-Liang Chou, Tsui-Fen Yang

“…Objectives: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has long been regarded as the “gold standard” when resecting a supratentorial glioma, as it facilitates the goals of maximal tumor resection and preservation of sensorimotor function. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the ability of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) monitoring or subcortical mapping (SCM), alone or in combination, to predict postoperative functional outcomes in glioma surgery. …”
