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 …

Although a primary tenet of neurosurgical oncology is that survival can improve with greater
tumor resection, this principle must be tempered by the potential for functional loss following …

Functional neuroimaging has improved pre‐planning of surgery in eloquent cortical areas,
but remains unable to map white matter. Thus, tumour resection in functional subcortical …

One challenge in dominant temporal lobe epilepsy surgery is to remove sufficient
epileptogenic tissue without compromising post-operative language functioning. Pre …

Awake craniotomy with language mapping is being increasingly applied to avoid
postoperative language dysfunctions worldwide. However, the effectiveness and reliability of …

Awake surgery with intraoperative brain mapping is highly recommended for patients with
diffuse low-grade gliomas in language areas, to maximise the extent of resection while …

✓ The localization of cortical sites essential for language was assessed by stimulation
mapping in the left, dominant hemispheres of 117 patients. Sites were related to language …

In order to identify the cortical areas involved in the reading process and to spare them
during surgery, we systematically studied cortical areas by direct cortical stimulation in …

✓ The localization of cortical sites essential for language was assessed by stimulation
mapping in the left, dominant hemispheres of 117 patients. Sites were related to language …

Objectives: To describe cortical reorganisation and the effects of glioma infiltration on local
brain function in three patients who underwent two operations 12–24 months apart …
