These consequences were defined as the ‘ACoA syndrome’ and included observations of severe memory loss, confabulation and personality or behavioural changes. These observations correspond to neuropsychological impairments in memory, executive functions and social cognition. However, in more recent studies, the existence of such a distinct syndrome has been called into question. We aimed to investigate the existence of the ACoA syndrome, by combining analysis of our own data with a systematic review of the literature. Memory, executive functions and social cognition of subarachnoid haemorrhage patients with ACoA aneurysms (<i>N</i> = 28) were compared to patients with aneurysms in other locations (<i>N</i> = 66). Results showed no significant differences. Subsequently, a systematic review of the existing literature on the ACoA syndrome was performed using Embase and PubMed until October 2022. Studies that investigated cognitive functions after rupture and repair of ACoA aneurysms were included. The search yielded 847 unique entries and after screening titles and abstracts, 648 records were excluded. 199 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility and 55 articles were included. Evidence was found for the ACoA syndrome in studies between 1960 and 2000, with impairments in memory and executive problems in the majority of studies. However, the majority of studies from 2000 did not demonstrate a distinct ACoA syndrome, although neuropsychological measurements improved. This coincides with the changes in the management of ACoA aneurysms over the past decades, such as the emergence of endovascular treatment and improvement of neurointensive care. Therefore, we hypothesize that the management techniques of ACoA aneurysms until around 2000, i.e. mainly conventional clipping, could be related to the presence of symptoms of the ACoA syndrome.</p>","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"18 S1","pages":"142-157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnp.12352","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71410053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, in neurosurgical practice, language preservation has classically focused on spoken language. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential role of intra-operative assessments in the preservation of written language skills in glioma patients undergoing awake surgery. It is the first feasibility study to use a standardized and detailed Written language battery in glioma patients undergoing awakening surgery. Reading and spelling were assessed pre- and post-operatively in eleven patients. Intra-operatively, 7 cases underwent written language assessment in addition to spoken object naming. Results show that reading and spelling deficits may arise before and after glioma surgery and that written language may be differently affected than spoken language. In our case series, task-specific preservation of function was obtained in all cases when a specific written language skill was monitored intra-operatively. However, the benefits of intra-operative testing did not always generalize, and non-monitored written language tasks may not be preserved. Hence, when a specific written language skill needs to be preserved, to facilitate return to work and maintain quality of life, results indicate that intra-operative assessment of that skill is advised. An illustrative case report demonstrates how profile analyses can be used pre-operatively to identify cognitive components at risk and intra-operatively to preserve written language abilities in clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"18 S1","pages":"205-229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnp.12349","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41230978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, a detailed neuropsychological and language evaluation is essential. In this work, we tested if an analysis of errors in naming can indicate semantic and/or phonological impairments in 87 awake brain surgery patients. Secondly, we explored how language and cognition change after brain tumour resection. Finally, we checked if low-tumour grade had a protective effect on cognition. Our results indicated that naming errors can be useful to monitor semantic and phonological processing, as their number correlated with scores on tasks developed by our team for testing these domains. Secondly, we showed that – although an analysis at a whole group level indicates a decline in language functions – significantly more individual patients improve or remain stable when compared to the ones who declined. Finally, we observed that having LGG, when compared with HGG, favours patients' outcome after surgery, most probably due to brain plasticity mechanisms. We provide new evidence of the importance of applying a broader neuropsychological assessment and an analysis of naming errors in patients with glioma. Our approach may potentially ensure better detection of cognitive deficits and contribute to better postoperative outcomes. Our study also shows that an individualized approach in post-surgical follow-ups can reveal reassuring results showing that significantly more patients remain stable or improve and can be a promising avenue for similar reports.
