OBJECTIVE Monitoring the intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in pediatric craniotomy is challenging because of its low detection rate, which makes it unreliable. Tetanic stimulation of the peripheral nerves of the extremities and pudendal nerves prior to transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) or direct cortical stimulation (DCS) amplifies the MEPs. The authors investigated the effects of MEP amplification following tetanic stimulation of the median and tibial nerve or the pudendal nerve in pediatric patients undergoing craniotomy. METHODS This prospective observational study included 15 patients
