Abstract

Objective: Minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery offer safer and more effective access to the skull base to remove benign and malignant tumors. However, endoscopic skull base surgery around the visual pathway may increase the risk of injury of the visual pathway. Monitoring of flash visual evoked potentials (FVEPs) during surgery may detect a possible injury to the visual pathway, allowing the surgeon to take corrective measures during surgery to reverse or minimize it. The purpose of this study is to determine whether monitoring FVEPs during brain surgery can predict, prevent or minimize visual pathway injury.
