Awake brain mapping by direct cortical stimulation; technical note to get higher resection rate and low morbidity in low-grade glioma patients

CONCLUSION: Functional realignment in shifted brain and edema can be seen while doing cortical and subcortical stimulation. Most of the stimulation from low to high for language mapping may vary from patient to patient. For safe removal of low-grade glioma a steep learning curve is needed to find out the negative areas, though the authors emphasize positive mapping of areas to secure the maximum eloquence.PMID:38576956 | PMC:PMC10990364 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001837
