I.はじめに
聴神経鞘腫手術時の顔面神経の同定は,肉眼的観察に加えて顔面筋誘発筋電図記録を併用して行われることが多い.しかし蝸牛神経,前庭神経の同定はほとんど肉眼的観察のみに委ねられている.ところがこれらの神経は,病巣によって偏位せしめられていることが多く,肉眼的観察のみによって各神経の同定を行うことにはしばしはご困難が伴う.
われわれは小脳橋角部で蝸牛神経,前庭神経を正確に同定しうる電気生理学的手法を開発することを目的として動物実験を行い,その臨床応用の可能性についても合わせて検討したので報告する.
Electrical stimulation was applied on the surface of the eighth cranial nerve in the cerebellopontine angle of dogsand the evoked potentials were recorded with surface electrodes on the scalp. The shape of the evoked poten-tials recorded was different according to the portion of the nerve stimulated electrically. It was, therefore, pos-sible to precisely identify the nerve stimulated from the surface recorded evoked potentials. This electrophy-siological method may be helpful for the surgeon to precisely locate the cochlear and vestibular nerves in various operations in the cerebellopontine angle in human. Our preliminary experience of this monitoring method in acoustic neuroma excision was presented.
