[An application of balloon probes. Preoperative electrophysiological test of the tolerance to temporal occlusion of the artery of cervical enlargement].
The authors report a case of testing of the temporary occlusion of origin of the radiculo-medullar artery for the cervical enlargement by balloon occlusion and both testing by clinical evaluation and evaluation of somesthesic evoked potentials and F wave. This testing allowed the surgical removal of a malignant tumor of the cervical vertebra including the vertebral artery and the origin of the radiculo-medullar artery for the cervical enlargement. About this case, they discuss possibilities and the theorical value of these pre-operative tests.
