Background Awake craniotomy (AC) renders an expanded role in functional neurosurgery.
Yet, evidence for optimal anaesthesia management remains limited. We aimed to …

Methods A scoping review followed PRISMA guidelines, searching five databases in
English, Spanish, and Portuguese. We included 28 studies with 258 patients (mean age: 43 …

BACKGROUND Awake craniotomy with intraoperative electrical mapping is a reliable
method to minimize the risk of permanent deficit during surgery for low-grade glioma located …

Studies looking at resection in high-grade gliomas have had mixed results. The authors
briefly review the literature regarding the value of the extent of resection. They proceed to …

Objective. To effectively combine functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor tractography (both
guided by neuronavigation) along with cortical stimulation (CS) for surgery of eloquent …

Background The resection of eloquent areas is challenging due to postoperative
neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and risk of awake …

Background Language mapping during awake craniotomy can allow for precise resection of
epileptogenic lesions, while reducing the risk of damage to eloquent cortex. There are few …

We report the indications and outcomes of awake right hemispheric brain surgery, as well as
a rare patient with crossed aphasia. Awake craniotomies are often performed to protect …

Justificativa e objetivos Alguns procedimentos intracranianos são possíveis com pacientes
acordados e os desafios vão da cooperação do paciente até a homeostasia. O objetivo é …

Background and objectives: Some intracranial procedures are achievable with patients
awake, however, there are challenges ranging from patient compliance to homeostasis. The …
