Abstract
Spinal cord monitoring using SSEPs is an accepted adjunct in the surgical correction of spinal deformities, but does not directly assess motor function. Motor-evoked potentials have been introduced in an effort to meet this important need. In this series of 18 patients, the feasibility of intraoperative monitoring using transcranial magnetic motor-evoked potentials is documented. The potential value of this neurophysiologic monitoring technique, as well as the pitfalls in interpretation, are reviewed.
