Résumé

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is needed for evaluating and demonstrating the integrity of the central and peripheral nervous system during surgical manoeuvres that take place in proximity to eloquent motor and somatosensory nervous structures. The integrity of the monitored motor pathways is not always followed by consistent clinical normality, particularly in the first hours/days following surgery, when surgical resection involves brain structures such as the supplementary motor areas (SMA). We report the case of a patient who underwent surgical excision of a right frontal glioblastoma with normal preoperative, intraoperative (IONM), and postoperative central motor conduction, but with persistent postoperative hemiplegia (> 6 months). The literature regarding SMA syndrome and its diagnosis and prognosis is reviewed.
