Abstract
Intraoperative FNMEP monitoring is feasible and safe in infants and children. We found no evidence that the procedures and thresholds should differ from FNMEP monitoring in adults. FNMEP monitoring provides valid evidence for FN function in pediatric eloquent area surgery; its use is complementary to direct electrical FN stimulation and continuous EMG monitoring of FN target muscles.
