Predictive value of Blink reflex and facial corticobulbar motor evoked potential in cerebellopontine angle tumor surgery

CONCLUSIONS: BR can compensate for the deficiencies of the FCoMEPs. The combination of BR and FCoMEPs can be used in CPA tumor surgery.SIGNIFICANCE: The study first proposed an optimal cut-off value of BR amplitude deterioration (50.0%) for predicting postoperative eyelid closure deficits in patients undergoing CPA tumor surgery.PMID:38642482 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.033
