We read with great interest the article by Fukuda et al. “Facial nerve motor-evoked potential monitoring during skull base surgery predicts facial nerve outcome.” (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2008; 79:1066-1070).
In this rather small group of 26 patients with skull base tumors, the authors have tried to establish a role for facial nerve motor evoked potentials (FNMEPs) to predicting the neuro...
