چکیده

background & importance: insular lobe is located at the depth of sylvian fissure and is hidden by frontal, temporal and parietal lobes in close vicinity of internal capsule and basal ganglia and adjacent to the speech centers in the dominant hemisphere. thus, radical resection of insular gliomas can be even more difficult. brain mapping techniques can be used to maximize the extent of tumor removal and minimize postoperative morbidities. case presentation: patients with newly diagnosed gliomas of dominant insula were enrolled. the exclusion criteria were severe cognitive and/or psychological disturbances, those with difficulty in communication, older than 65 years, severely obese patients, those with difficult airways for intubation and severe cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. all patients were evaluated by contrast enhanced brain mri, functional brain mri and diffusion tensor tractography of language and motor systems preoperatively. all were operated under awake craniotomy with the same anesthesiology protocol. intraoperative monitoring included continuous motor evoked potential, electromyography, electrocorticography, direct electrical stimulation of cortex and subcortical tracts. they were followed with serial neurological examination and imaging. conclusion: seven patients were enrolled including 3 man and 4 women with mean age of 44.4 years. 5 patients suffered from low grade and 2 from high grade glioma. the most common clinical presentation was seizure followed by speech disturbance, hemiparesis and memory loss. extent of tumor resection ranged from 73 to 100%. no mortality or major postoperative neurological deficit was encountered. seizure control improved in 3/4 of patients with medical refractory epilepsy. one patient suffered from permanent deterioration of speech after surgery. brain mapping under awake craniotomy may be considered a safe method to maximize the extent of tumor resection, while preserving neurological function in patients with gliomas of the dominant insular lobe.

Ammonia encephalopathy and awake craniotomy for brain language mapping: cause of failed awake craniotomy.

We report the case of an aborted awake craniotomy for a left frontotemporoinsular glioma due to ammonia encephalopathy on a patient taking Levetiracetam, valproic acid and clobazam. This awake mapping surgery was scheduled as a second-stage procedure following partial resection eight days earlier under general anesthesia. We planned to perform the surgery with local anesthesia and sedation with...

Anaesthetic management for awake craniotomy in brain glioma resection: initial experience in Military Hospital Mohamed V of Rabat

The awake brain surgery is an innovative approach in the treatment of tumors in the functional areas of the brain. There are various anesthetic techniques for awake craniotomy (AC), including asleep-awake-asleep technique, monitored anesthesia care, and the recent introduced awake-awake-awake method. We describe our first experience with anesthetic management for awake craniotomy, which was a c...

Anaesthetic management of awake craniotomy for tumour resection.

INTRODUCTION Awake craniotomy allows accurate localisation of the eloquent brain, which is crucial during brain tumour resection in order to minimise risk of neurologic injury. The role of the anaesthesiologist is to provide adequate analgesia and sedation while maintaining ventilation and haemodynamic stability in an awake patient who needs to be cooperative during neurological testing. We rev...
