Surgical Management of Gliomas in Eloquent Cortex.

Surgical Management of Gliomas in Eloquent Cortex. Prog Neurol Surg. 2018;30:159-172 Authors: Ferguson SD, McCutcheon IE Abstract Gliomas located in eloquent cortex impose a unique surgical obstacle. The oncological benefit of aggressive resection must be balanced with preservation of functional tissue and optimization of surgical outcome. Technical advances in preoperative functional imaging, refinement of intraoperative mapping, and conceptual understanding of cerebral plasticity have significantly improved the outcome of this patient population.
