Rolandic area meningioma resection controlled and guided by intraoperative cortical mapping

摘要

Background The resection of convexity meningiomas should harbour a low rate of morbidity. Functional preservation should be the main goal of surgery and have higher priority over radicality. Involvement of the primary motor cortex (PMC) increases surgical risk. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of cortical mapping on surgical morbidity after rolandic area meningioma treatment.
