Brief summary

The hypothesis is that the structural documentation and analysis of the data of demographics, neuroimaging, IONM and clinical outcomes can help to further standardize the use of such equipment for detecting the integrity of the corticospinal tracts. We want to confirm that the retrospectively data analysis of neuroimaging, IONM and clinical outcomes does help to understand these methods better in the surgical management of brainstem lesions, and therefore, improve the safety of brainstem surgery.

Detailed description

This will be a prospective data collection and retrospective data analysis study to investigate the effect of pre- and post-neuroimaging, intraoperative monitoring, and clinical outcome during the surgical management of brainstem lesions in our neurosurgical center. The data of demographics, neuroimaging, IONM and patients' outcomes will be acquired based on the medical records and follow-up visits. All data is stored in the personal file of the clinical information system for each patient. The expected duration of each subject's participation is confined to the surgery itself and the routine visits during the follow-up. The overall study duration is expected to collect all the brainstem surgery in next five years.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Data of direct brainstem stimulation and clinical outcome	09/2020-12/2021	The measurement of stimulation intensity (in mA) and its corresponding neurophysiological outcome (positive or not), as well as the short- and long-term neurological outcome (mRS 0-6) help the standardization of direct brainstem stimulation and clinical outcome prediction
