Triggered Electrooculography for Identification of Oculomotor and Abducens Nerves during Skull Base Surgery.

Conclusion: This study showed reliably triggered EOG waveforms with stimulation of CNs III and VI during skull base surgery. The latency was different according to the point of stimulation and thus predictable. As EOG is noninvasive and relatively easy to perform, it can be used to identify the ocular motor nerves during surgeries as an alternative of electromyography.
