Background Insular gliomas are challenging tumors to surgically resect owing to the
anatomy surrounding them. This study evaluates the role of extent of resection (EOR) and …

OBJECTIVE The choice of transsylvian versus transcortical corridors for resection of insular
gliomas remains controversial. Functional pathway compromise from transcortical …

OBJECTIVE Maximum extent of resection (EOR) for lower-grade and high-grade gliomas
can increase survival rates of patients. However, these infiltrative gliomas are often …

OBJECTIVE Insular lobe gliomas continue to challenge neurosurgeons due to their complex
anatomical position. Transcortical and transsylvian corridors remain the primary approaches …

BACKGROUND A majority of patients with insular tumors present with seizures. Although a
number of studies have shown that greater extent of resection improves overall patient …

OBJECTIVE Insular lobe epilepsy is a challenging condition to diagnose and treat. Due to
anatomical intricacy and proximity to eloquent brain regions, resection of epileptic foci in that …

Insular gliomas represent a unique surgical challenge due to the complex anatomy and
