INTRAOPERATIVE VISUAL EVOKED POTENTIALS FOR OPHTHALMIC ARTERY ANEURYSMS AS A PREDICTOR OF VISUAL FUNCTION.
Objective: Intraoperative visual evoked potential (VEP) monitoring has become increasingly implemented in ophthalmic artery aneurysm surgery and represents a useful tool for visual assessment.It is generally reported that ophthalmic artery occlusion during clipping and/or surgical manipulation of the vessel does not necessarily result in visual impairment due to its collateral supply from external carotid artery branches, but caution should be taken due to its possible catastrophic implications in visual function.
