OBJECTIVE: Surgical resection of mass lesions in Broca's area is controversial. To
demonstrate that pathology may influence the localization of functional areas and language …

Background Language sites in the cortex of the brain vary among patients. Language
mapping while the patient is awake is an intraoperative technique designed to minimize …

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative localization of speech is problematic in patients that are fluent
with different languages. Previous studies have generated various results depending on the …

OBJECTIVE: Advances in functional mapping have enabled us to extend the indications of
surgery for low-grade gliomas (LGGs) within eloquent regions. However, to our knowledge …

Object This prospective longitudinally designed study was conducted to evaluate language
functions pre-and postoperatively in patients who underwent microsurgical treatment of …

Background Resent advances on functional mapping have enabled us to conduct surgery
on gliomas within the eloquent area. The objective of the article is to discuss the feasibility of …

Refinement of neurosurgical technique has enabled safer operations with more aggressive
outcomes. One cornerstone of modern-day practice is the utilization of intraoperative …

Background Awake brain mapping in multilingual patients with brain tumors presents unique
challenges to the neurosurgeon. Knowledge of potential eloquent sites is vital to preserve …

OBJECTIVE The ability of functional MRI (fMRI) to localize patient-specific eloquent areas
has proved worthwhile in efforts to maximize resection while minimizing risk of iatrogenic …
