E. Th e go ld s t an d a r d fo r e le ct r od ia g n osis o f r a d icu lo p at h y is n e e d le EMG.
1. The earliest EMG nding in acute radiculopathy is a decrease in the number of motor unit potentials seen on recruitment.
2. An increase in the number of polyphasic motor unit potentials may be seen early.
3. Prolonged H re ex latency for C7 or S1 roots and reduced number of F waves in weak muscles may be obser ved after several days of radiculopathy.
4. Spontaneous motor activity, brillations, and positive F waves are the hallmarks of acute radiculopathy.
5. Large, long-duration, polyphasic potentials indicate reinnervation.
6. As the radiculopathy resolves, polyphasic potentials tend to reduce in the number of phases, but the motor unit potentials may remain larger and be of longer duration than the normal motor unit potentials of uninvolved muscles.

1. Clinical ndings suggest other neurological disorders, such as anterior horn cell disease, ner ve entrapm ent syndrom e, cer vical sten osis, am ong others.
2. Imaging studies and clinical ndings do not correlate well in patients with suspected radiculopathy.

1. Characterized by awakening the patient to assess motor function.
2. Patient was awakened after critical points during the procedure (e.g., implant placem ent, cu rve reduction ).

D. Recen t advan ces in clu de the assessm en t of t ranscran ial m otor evoked p ote n tials

1. Enable real-time monitoring of the motor tracts and nerve roots and limit signal interference from anesthesia.
E. Nu m er o u s va r ia b le s co n fo u n d IONM.
1. Anesthesia (most common).
2. Body temperature.
3. Degree of neural development (age, neuromuscular comorbidities, delayed development).
4. Mean arterial pressures.
5. Medications.
6. Length of procedure.

7. Personnel expertise.
II. Som at o s e n sor y evoke d p ote n t ia ls (SSEPs):
A. Elicit e d by t h e st im u la t ion o f a p e r ip he r a l n er ve , t yp ic a lly e it h er t he p ost e r io r

5 Intraoperative Neuromonitoring 81
1. Subcortical responses can also be tracked by placing the ampli er electrodes on the anterior or posterior neck.
2. Subcortical SSEPs are thought to be less inhibited by the e ects of anesthesia and the degree of neural development.
D. Am p lit u de redu ction of > 50% or late n cy o f m ore t h an 10% of b aselin e is cau se
for co n ce rn .
E. Sign i c a n t lim it at io n s o f SSEPs:
1. Not true real-time monitoring, because the potentials must summate when they are recorded.
2. Lack of motor track monitoring.
3. Signi cantly a ected by neuroanesthesia.

subderm al electrode can be used to record the peripheral musculature.
1. Descending stimulation can summate temporally or spatially to trigger skeletal muscle action, thereby producing compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs).
2. Epidural monitoring is characterized by monitoring the D-wave, which represents direct stim ulation of the corticospinal neurons.

to record amplitude, frequency, duration, and shape of the motor unit action potential.
1. Assesses spinal nerve root insults due to stretch or direct injury.
2. Records changes in the pattern of motor unit action potentials as a result of nerve root injury/irritation.
3. Provides real-time information to the surgeon to reverse any noxious stimuli to the nerve roots.
a. False negatives are often encountered if nerve root injury results from
vascular injury or prolonged stretch inju r y, which m ay have a delayed presentation.
B. Tr ig g e r e d EM G ( t EMG) .
1. Used during implant placement with transpedicular screw xation.
2. A current is applied to the pedicle screw head after placement, and the CM APs o f t h e co r re sp o n d in g n e r ve r oo t m u sc u la t u re a re r e co r d e d .
3. Assess the signal intensity required to depolarize the musculature:
a. With pedicle wall breach, the stimulus magnitude is signi cantly lower
than control values, because there is less impedance of current ow to the neural elements.
b. Less than 10 milliamps may be indicative of a medial wall breach.
4. Continuous EMG is used while the surgeon is traversing the psoas muscle in an e ort to prevent lumbosacral plexus injury.
