The persistence of seizures after tumor resection negatively affects survival in low-grade glioma patients: a clinical retrospective study
IntroductionSeizures are the most common clinical manifestation of low-grade glioma (LGG). Many papers hypothesized an influence of epilepsy on...

Factors affecting the extent of resection and neurological outcomes following transopercular resection of insular gliomas
BackgroundSurgical resection of insular gliomas is a challenge. TO resection is considered more versatile and has lower risk of vascular damage. In...

Functional and oncological outcomes after right hemisphere glioma resection in awake versus asleep patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The right hemisphere has been underestimated by being considered as the non-dominant hemisphere. However, it is involved in many functions, including...
-
Ultrasound-assisted resection of insular gliomas
BackgroundInsular gliomas’ management challenges are attributed to their complex shape, proximity to critical vasculature, and organization. However,...

Results from a first-in-human phase I safety trial to evaluate the use of a vascularized pericranial/temporoparietal fascial flap to line the resection cavity following resection of newly diagnosed glioblastoma
PurposeThe efficacy of systemic therapies for glioblastoma (GBM) remains limited due to the constraints of systemic toxicity and blood–brain barrier...
-
Biomolecular mechanisms of epileptic seizures and epilepsy: a review
Epilepsy is a recurring neurological disease caused by the abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This disease has caused about 50 new cases in...

IDH1 mutation is associated with improved resection rates, progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with anaplastic astrocytomas
PurposeThe introduction of molecular markers in to the diagnosis of gliomas has changed the therapeutic approach to this tumors. The aim of this...
