| Abstract: | In brain tumor patients, treatment often entails resection of the brain tumor. Of utmost importance in the clinical management of brain tumor patients is quality of life. Thus, the goals of brain tumor surgery are twofold: (1) to maximize resection of the tumor and (2) not to resect important brain structures adjacent to the tumor. Maximizing resection aids in improving survival and quality of life, while not resecting important brain structures adjacent to the tumor avoids neurosurgical complications. To achieve these goals, knowing the location of eloquent brain regions in relation to the tumor is paramount. Awareness of eloquent brain regions helps to plan the surgical approach and techniques used in surgery. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved. |
