Perioperative neuropsychological assessment reveals dynamic changes in neurocognitive function following brain tumor surgery

There is significant neurocognitive dysfunction in patients with PBTs in the perioperative period with many dynamic changes in the post-operative performance as compared to the baseline. Awake craniotomy can mitigate some of this decline. Detailed cognitive assessments serially performed over the course of treatment is essential to unearth the evolving changes in neurocognition and customise interventions.
