Usefulness of intraoperative insular electrocorticography in modified functional hemispherectomy
BACKGROUND The insular cortex is not routinely removed in modified functional hemispherectomy due to the risk of injury to the main arteries and to deep structures. Our study evaluates the safety and usefulness of applying intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) on the insular during the hemispherectomy. METHODS We included all patients who underwent insular ECoG during a modified function...
