Abstract
Following the description by Wieser et al. (1985) of the use of a foramen ovale electrode to record from mesial temporal structures the authors describe an alternative electrode equipped with radial tines to make it self-retaining. A helical section provides flexibility along the electrode's longitudinal axis preventing displacement of the tip during jaw movements. Clinical and detailed neurophysiological examinations failed to demonstrate any evidence of motor or sensory trigeminal nerve dysfunction and no complications were encountered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
