Surgical resection plays a central role in the management of gliomas. In this study, we
review the evidence in support of extent of resection to improve survival, symptom …

Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for patients with glioma of any grade.
Maximal resection of the tumour is central to achieving long-term disease control; however …

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 …

Surgical treatment of low-grade gliomas (LGGs) aims to maximise the amount of tumour
tissue resected, while minimising the risk of functional sequelae. In this review I address the …

OBJECTIVE Balancing the benefits of extensive tumor resection with the consequence of
potential postoperative deficits remains a challenge in malignant astrocytoma surgery …

Objectives: Despite the growing use of intraoperative functional mapping in supratentorial
low grade glioma (LGG) surgery, few studies have compared series of patients operated on …

Object. Although a growing number of authors currently advocate surgery to treat low-grade
gliomas, controversy still persists, especially because of the risk of inducing neurological …

The concept of plasticity describes the mechanisms that rearrange cerebral organization
following a brain injury. During the last century, plasticity has been mainly investigated in …

OBJECTIVE: Language functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used
extensively in the past decade for both clinical and research purposes. Its integration in the …

Objectives: To describe functional recovery after surgical resection of low grade gliomas
(LGG) in eloquent brain areas, and discuss the mechanisms of compensation. Methods …
