Subcortical mapping with MEP monitoring helps to achieve safe wider resection. The optimal safe limit for SCMTh was determined as 2.5 mA. Provided that safe threshold values are maintained in MEP, surgeon may force the functional limits by lowering the SCMTh to 1 mA, especially in low-grade gliomas.
