title: Bispectral index detects intraoperative cerebral ischaemia during balloon assisted cerebral aneurysm coiling.
abstract: Bispectral index (BIS) is a monitoring modality designed and used for monitoring depth of anaesthesia. We wish to report a case where BIS monitoring may have alerted us to a potential adverse neurological event during angiographic coiling of a cerebral aneurysm.
