Neuropsychological assessments before and after awake surgery for incidental low-grade gliomas.

CONCLUSIONS: Early surgical treatment in presumed asymptomatic patients with ILGG was associated with stable or improved neuropsychological outcomes in 87.2% of patients at 3 months, with only mild cognitive decline observed in 6 patients. In return, supratotal or total resections were achieved in most patients, and all patients were still alive at the end of the follow-up. PMID: 33276332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
