Abstract

Since the first reports describing endovascular treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations over 50 years ago, neuroendovascular technologies have continued to develop, advancing diagnosis of vascular abnormalities within the central nervous system, providing opportunities for treatment of previously inoperable brain and spinal cord lesions, and making possible minimally invasive alternatives for a variety of open neurosurgical therapies. Intraoperative neuromonitoring can add an additional margin of safety during neuroendovascular surgery by detecting evolving neural compromise and prompting timely intervention to reverse or limit the extent of an untoward neurologic complication.
