Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect and analyze data related to demographics, neuroimaging, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM), and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for brainstem lesions. By documenting and analyzing this data, the study seeks to enhance the understanding of these methods and improve the safety of brainstem surgeries. The data will be gathered from medical records and follow-up visits, with a focus on both pre- and post-operative assessments over a five-year period.
