Awake craniotomy versus general anesthesia for managing eloquent cortex low-grade gliomas.
OBJECTIVE To compare awake craniotomy using conscious sedation technique versus conventional general anesthesia (GA) for excision of low-grade glioma encroaching on eloquent brain. METHODS This prospective study included 40 patients ASA classification 1 and 2, aged 23-55 years, harboring low-grade glioma encroaching on eloquent brain. The study was carried out in the Neurosurgical Theatre in ...
متن کاملAwake craniotomy and electrophysiological mapping for eloquent area tumours.
OBJECTIVE An awake craniotomy facilitates radical excision of eloquent area gliomas and ensures neural integrity during the excision. The study describes our experience with 67 consecutive awake craniotomies for the excision of such tumours. METHODS Sixty-seven patients with gliomas in or adjacent to eloquent areas were included in this study. The patient was awake during the procedure and in...
متن کاملLow-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...
متن کاملInitial Experience with Brain Mapping under Awake Craniotomy for Resection of Insular Gliomas of the Dominant Hemisphere
Background & Importance: Insular lobe is located at the depth of sylvian fissure and is hidden by frontal, temporal and parietal lobes in close vicinity of internal capsule and basal ganglia and adjacent to the speech centers in the dominant hemisphere. Thus, radical resection of insular gliomas can be even more difficult. Brain mapping techniques can be used to maximize the extent of...
متن کاملCognitive functioning early after surgery of gliomas in eloquent areas.
OBJECT Patients with gliomas frequently have cognitive deficits, and surgery can exacerbate these deficits. Preoperative assessment is therefore crucial in patients undergoing surgery for glioma in eloquent areas, because the proximity of functional areas increases the risk of permanent postoperative cognitive disturbances. Although pre- and postoperative language and motor function in patients...
