Introduction: Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were evaluated during MCA aneurysm surgery. Intraoperative changes of MEPs are correlated to postoperative motor status and neuroradiologial findings. Methods: 70 patients (38 at facility 2, 32 at facility 1; 14 m, 56 f; mean age 54 years) undergoing MCA aneurysm surgery were studied. MEPs were elicited by transcranial electric or direct cortical stimulation with a multipulse anodal stimulation (train of 5 stimuli; single pulse duration 0.5 ms, interstimulus interval 2–4ms) and recorded from bilateral thenar, anterior tibialis and contralateral biceps and finger exten…
