Awake craniotomy with direct electrical stimulation (DES) is the standard treatment for patients with gliomas in eloquent areas. Even though language is monitored carefully during surgery, many patients suffer from postoperative aphasia, with negative effects on their quality of life. Some perioperative factors are reported to influence postoperative language outcome. However, the influence of different intraoperative speech and language errors on language outcome is not clear. Therefore, we investigate this relation. A systematic search was performed in which 81 studies were included, reporting speech and language errors during awake craniotomy with DES and postoperative language outcomes in adult glioma patients up until 6 July 2020. The frequencies of intraoperative errors and language status were calculated. Binary logistic regressions were performed. Preoperative language deficits were a significant predictor for postoperative acute (OR = 3.42, p < 0.001) and short-term (OR = 1.95, p = 0.007) language deficits. Intraoperative anomia (OR = 2.09, p = 0.015) and intraoperative production errors (e.g., dysarthria or stuttering; OR = 2.06, p = 0.016) were significant predictors for postoperative acute language deficits. Postoperatively, the language deficits that occurred most often were production deficits and spontaneous speech deficits. To conclude, during surgery, intraoperative anomia and production errors should carry particular weight during decision-making concerning the optimal onco-functional balance for a given patient, and spontaneous speech should be monitored. Further prognostic research could facilitate intraoperative decision-making, leading to fewer or less severe postoperative language deficits and improvement of quality of life.

“…A 2018 meta-analysis analyzing the most common presenting symptoms due to gliomas established that aphasia was the seventh most common symptom, with other more common symptoms being seizures (37%), cognitive deficits (36%), drowsiness (35%), dysphagia (30%), headache (27%), confusion (27%), aphasia (24%), motor deficits (21%), fatigue (20%), and dyspnea (20%) [7]. Anomic aphasia is a unique symptom that has been shown to be associated with damage to the left temporal lobe [7][8][9]. A 2018 study examining patients with lesions in the left temporal lobe suggested that damage to this area results in difficulty in lexical selection [10].…”

Sudden-onset anomic aphasia is a unique symptom that is suggestive of an acute etiology. This case presents a sudden-onset focal neurological deficit with an underlying brain tumor. A 68-year-old female awoke with sudden-onset anomic aphasia, with mild hypertension as her only medical history. After an initial stroke workup was unremarkable, magnetic resonance imaging found a focal lesion on the left temporal lobe. An electroencephalogram showed lateralized periodic discharge and a focal area of increased epileptic potential in the left temporal lobe. Brain biopsy revealed World Health Organization grade IV glioblastoma, followed by resection. This case is an important reminder that chronic etiologies may present with acute symptoms.

“…Many studies have described brain-damaged patients with an impaired ability to retrieve a name from a person's face with a preserved ability to provide semantic information about the person (e.g., the person's profession) [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The reverse pattern of impairment, i.e., impaired access to semantic information with preserved naming of a face, has not been described, to our knowledge.…”

Neurophysiological evidence for crossmodal (face-name) person-identity representation in the human left ventral temporal cortex

et al. 2020

Putting a name to a face is a highly common activity in our daily life that greatly enriches social interactions. Although this specific person-identity association becomes automatic with learning, it remains difficult and can easily be disrupted in normal circumstances or neurological conditions. To shed light on the neural basis of this important and yet poorly understood association between different input modalities in the human brain, we designed a crossmodal frequency-tagging paradigm coupled to brain activity recording via scalp and intracerebral electroencephalography. In Experiment 1, 12 participants were presented with variable pictures of faces and written names of a single famous identity at a 4-Hz frequency rate while performing an orthogonal task. Every 7 items, another famous identity appeared, either as a face or a name. Robust electrophysiological responses were found exactly at the frequency of identity change (i.e., 4 Hz / 7 = 0.571 Hz), suggesting a crossmodal neural response to person identity. In Experiment 2 with twenty participants, two control conditions with periodic changes of identity for faces or names only were added to estimate the contribution of unimodal neural activity to the putative crossmodal face-name responses. About 30% of the response occurring at the frequency of crossmodal identity change over the left occipito-temporal cortex could not be accounted for by the linear sum of unimodal responses. Finally, intracerebral recordings in the left ventral anterior temporal lobe (ATL) in 7 epileptic patients tested with this paradigm revealed a small number of "pure" crossmodal responses, i.e., with no response to changes of identity for faces or names only. Altogether, these observations provide evidence for integration of verbal and nonverbal person identityspecific information in the human brain, highlighting the contribution of the left ventral ATL in the automatic retrieval of face-name identity associations.
