Introduction: Historically, most studies about awake brain surgery have focused on language
or motor functions. More recently, other cognitive functions have also been assessed …

Object Recent surgical studies have demonstrated that the extent of resection is significantly
correlated with median survival in WHO Grade II gliomas. Consequently, thanks to advances …

Object A growing number of published studies have recently demonstrated the role of
resection in overall survival (OS) for patients with gliomas. In this retrospective study, the …

Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is increasingly used in patients operated on
for tumours in eloquent areas. Although a positive impact of DES on postoperative linguistic …

Object Mapping and monitoring are believed to provide an early warning sign to determine
when to stop tumor removal to avoid mechanical damage to the corticospinal tract (CST) …

Background Resection of motor pathway gliomas requires the intraoperative recognition of
essential cortical-subcortical motor structures. The degree of involvement of motor structures …

Resection of lesions involving motor or language areas or pathways requires the
intraoperative identification of functional cortical and subcortical sites for effectively and safe …

Abstract Background The European Low-Grade Glioma network indicated a need to better
understand common practices regarding the managing of diffuse low-grade gliomas. This …

We suggest using the wide-field imaging Mueller polarimetry to contrast optically anisotropic
fiber tracts of healthy brain white matter for the detection of brain tumor borders during …

OBJECTIVES: Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is increasingly used in
patients operated on for tumours in critical language areas. Although a positive impact of …
