A 9-year-old female with Trisomy 21 with complex craniovertebral instability causing severe cervicomedullary compression underwent occipitocervical fusion. This paper will discuss the anaesthetic management and highlight the use of the Narcotrend monitor not only as a depth of consciousness monitor but more importantly as a tool to detect surgery-induced cerebral hypoperfusion by monitoring the right and left cerebral hemispheres independently and simultaneously.

“…In small children (mainly <3 years), the latency and amplitude of evoked potentials are highly sensitive to anaesthetic agents due to the immature nervous system 2 . It is used along with MEP for spine surgeries for monitoring posterior tracts 23‐25 . Though technically challenging in spine tumours, midline mapping for myelotomy can be performed using phase reversal SSEP using small strip electrodes.…”

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in paediatric neurosurgery

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in paediatric neurosurgeries is emerging over the past few years, and it is being widely used to decrease the risk of postoperative deficits. The same techniques of IONM used in adults can be used in paediatric patients with some modifications keeping in consideration their immature developing nervous system. Neurophysiology in children differs from that in adults. In paediatric patients, the IONM signals and responses differ according to the age of the child. The type of surgery and the neuronal pathways expected to be at risk, determine the type of IONM modality used. 1,2 Various factors like age, type and location of the lesion, preoperative neurological functional status should be considered while using IONM in paediatric patients. There are also immense challenges with anaesthesia maintenance in children undergoing IONM. Also, the IONM signals and responses are not as easily obtained as in adults due to many factors related to the immature nervous system. 3,4
