Advanced tractography-guided laser ablation of a perirolandic long-term epilepsy–associated tumor: illustrative case
Probabilistic MT-CSD tractography enhanced MRgLITT planning as well as intraprocedural CST visualization and preservation, leading to a favorable functional outcome. The limitations of tractography and the predictability of thermal output distribution compared to the gold standard of microsurgical resection merit further discussion. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24139.
