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 …

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

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the accuracy of preoperative localization of language-related
cortex by magnetic resonance imaging-guided positron emission tomography. METHODS …

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

Object Despite better knowledge of cortical language organization, its subcortical
anatomofunctional connectivity remains poorly understood. The authors used intraoperative …

OBJECTIVE: Language mapping has been reported previously for bilingual patients
undergoing cortical resection of an epileptic focus that may have developed early in life. In …

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

OBJECTIVE: Subcortical stimulation can be used to identify functional language tracts
during resection of gliomas located close to or within language areas or pathways. The …

Abstract IN A SERIES of 40 patients undergoing an awake craniotomy for the removal of a
glioma of the dominant hemisphere temporal lobe, cortical stimulation mapping was used to …
