Abstract:Introduction: Extensive resection for malignant intraaxial intracranial tumors has been demonstrated to improve survival. This is not always possible due to potential tumor location in or next to eloquent brain regions, like primary motor cortex or speech areas. In this case, avoiding neurological defi cits is challenging. One of the tools for minimizing that risk is intraoperative cortical mapping (ICM). This report describes the ICM technique of eloquent brain regions, feasibility and complementariness with … Show more
