Abstract:The study evaluated the diagnostic effectiveness of changes in the parameters of the bulbocavernous reflex during intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in the surgical treatment of caudal spinal cord tumors. The study was performed during examinations and neurosurgical treatment of 58 patients suffering from intradural extramedullary and intramedullary tumors of the caudal spinal cord. In 23 (39.7%) patients, the tumors were localized at the level of the lower thoraciclumbar spine (Th11L1), and in 35 (6… Show more
