Awake Craniotomy in Patients With Language Deficits: A Retrospective Cohort Study in 48 Patients
This study confirms the feasibility and applicability of monitoring language functions during awake brain surgery when preoperative language deficits are present. Both low-grade and high-grade glioma patients show an overall stable performance on a language comprehension test and an improved performance on a language production test 3 to 6 months after surgery and, therefore, seemed to benefit from cognitive monitoring.
