Abstract: In brain tumour patients, treatment often entails resection of the brain tumour. Quality of life is of utmost importance in the clinical management of brain tumour patients. Thus, the goals of brain tumour surgery are twofold: (1) to maximise resection of the tumour and (2) not to resect important brain structures adjacent to the tumour. Maximising resection aids in improving survival and quality of life, whilst not resecting important brain structures adjacent to the tumour avoids neurosurgical complications. To achieve these goals, knowing the location of eloquent brain regions in relation to the tumour is paramount. Awareness of eloquent brain regions helps to plan the surgical approach and techniques used in surgery. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
