Intramedullary tumors are a class of central nervous system tumors with an incidence of 2 to 4%. As they are located very deep and frequently cause postoperative neurological complications, surgical resection is difficult. In recent years, many surgeons have performed electrophysiological monitoring to effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative neurological complications. Modern electrophysiological monitoring technology has advanced considerably, leading to the development of many monitoring methods, such as SSEPs, MEPs, DCM, and EMG, to monitor intramedullary tumors. However, electrophysiological monitoring in tumor resection is still being studied. In this article, we discussed the different monitoring methods and their role in monitoring intramedullary tumors by reviewing previous studies. Intratumorally tumors need to be monitored for a summary of the condition of the patient. Only by using various monitoring methods flexibly and through clear communication between surgeons and neurophysiological experts can good decisions be made during surgery and positive surgical results be achieved.
