Abstract
The correct choice of electrodes for neurophysiologic monitoring is on e of the unsolved problems in clinical practice and scientific researc h. In addition to the familiar electrodes, i.e., cup (silver-/silver-c hloride, gold) and needle electrodes, adhesive electrodes (e.g., Zippr ep electrodes) have been offered for rapid application and accurate si gnal recording. This case report indicates that adhesive electrodes ca n lead to superficial lesions of the skin or inflammatory infiltration .
