Surgical Strategies for Epilepsy in Eloquent Areas

As part of their initial workup, patients typically undergo videoelectroencephalography (video-EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, and neuropsychological testing [3]. Depending on how well these tests localize the epileptic foci, additional studies might be indicated, such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and single photon-emission computed t...

Surgical Treatment of Supratentorial Glioma in Eloquent Areas

Low-grade astrocytoma: surgical outcomes in eloquent versus non-eloquent brain areas.

A retrospective study of 81 patients with low-grade astrocytoma (LGA) comparing the efficacy of aggressive versus less aggressive surgery in eloquent and non-eloquent brain areas was conducted. Extent of surgical resection was analyzed to assess overall survival (OS) and progression- free survival (PFS). Degree of tumor resection was classified as gross total resection (GTR), subtotal resection...
