The intermedius nerve as a confounding variable for monitoring of the free-running electromyogram

Highlights • In vestibular schwannoma patients with an identifiable intermedius nerve, the free-running EMG may show additional A-trains. • A-train activity attributable to the intermedius nerve does not have a relevant clinical correlate. • Thus, for interpretation of the free-running EMG, the inte...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • In vestibular schwannoma patients with an identifiable intermedius nerve, the free-running EMG may show additional A-trains. • A-train activity attributable to the intermedius nerve does not have a relevant clinical correlate. • Thus, for interpretation of the free-running EMG, the intermedius nerve needs to be taken into account as a confounder.
