Surgery for gliomas of Broca’s area
Broca's area gliomas do not require craniotomy larger than tumor projection size and «positive» mapping of all visible cortical areas, except for those regions where encephalotomy is planned («negative» mapping). When assessing the risks of persistent speech disorders, one should take into account such factors as tumor malignancy grade, baseline speech disorders, the need for mapping of motor areas, spread of tumor from Broca's area to parietal lobe and subcortical nuclei. For more accurate determination of cortical speech zones in Broca's area, testing should include naming of actions.
