Abstract
Background
Direct-Cortical-Stimulation (DCS), Navigated-Transcranial Magnetic-Stimulation (nTMS), Cortico-Cortical-Evoked-Potentials (CCEPs) can be synergically used to monitor Language-network.
Methods
We illustrate a case of multimodal approach for removal of one left fronto-temporo-insular Low-Grade-Glioma.
Results
A 32-years-old female patient was operated in awake surgery (using D080-picture-naming-test). We documented a matching correspondence among frontal nTMS + spots, Penfield DCS, and CCEPs stimulation strip. The same was found in the temporal area among nTMS, DCS, and CCEPs recording strip. [Average distance among nTMS, DCS and CCEPs spots = 5.10 mm, STD = 1.08 mm. Se, PPV and Precision:100%].
Conclusions
We documented the potential utility of matching synergic technologies to preserve language.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
