Laryngeal Adductor Reflex And Future Projections for Brainstem Monitoring. Reply to “A method for intraoperative recording of the laryngeal adductor reflex during lower brainstem surgery in children”

In their Letter to the Editor, Costa et al. (2018) report on using the laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR), along with standard, methodologies, to monitor vagus nerve pathways in three pediatric patients during the removal of large 4th ventricle tumors. Preservation of LAR correlated with the absence of X cranial nerve neurological deficits.
