Introduction: Surgery involving the brainstem is one of the most demanding procedures due to the abundance of neural structures and significantly increases the risk of postoperative neurologic deficits. Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring has emerged as a tool, offering instantaneous feedback on the functional status of the neural structures located in the posterior fossa.
Material and methods: An extensive review of the literature relating to Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Posterior Fossa Surgeries was performed. Mapping and monitoring techniques were detailed.
Conclusion: The use of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has made the procedure safer, even with a distorted anatomy, allowing for greater resection and less chance of deficits.
