METHOD FOR DETERMINING INTRAOPERATION TRIGEMINOCARDIAL REFLEX RISK DEGREE IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM VESTIBULAR NEUROSCHWANNOMA Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out clinical and diagnostic examination and additionally measuring latent period of III peak on invoked potential curve from acoustic invoked stem potentials. Cerebral stem injuries are determined from neuromuscular electrodiagnostic data. Latent period III peak value being above or below a norm and injured medial cerebral stem region allover the stem thickness or totally injured lateral and caudal stem regions or all said regions injury taking place, high intraoperation trigeminocardial reflex risk degree is diagnosed in patients suffering from vestibular neuroschwannoma. Latent period III peak value being above or below a norm and no injuries of cerebral stem or latent period III peak value corresponding to norm and totally injured lateral and caudal stem regions at the same time or only medial cerebral stem regions taking place, moderate risk degree is diagnosed. Normal latent period III peak value and no injuries of cerebral stem being the case, low risk degree is to be diagnosed.

EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis.
