The indications for operating on lesions in or near areas of cortical eloquence balance the benefit of resection with the risk of permanent neurological deficit. In adults, awake craniotomy has become a versatile tool in tumor, epilepsy and functional neurosurgery, permitting intra-operative stimulation mapping particularly for language, sensory and motor cortical pathways. This allows for maximal...
Extraoperative electrocortical stimulation mapping (ESM) is used to identify functional cortex prior to epilepsy surgery, with the goal of preserving function postoperatively. Although attempts are made to avoid stimulation-evoked seizure activity, the clinical impact of these events with regard to safety, clinical utility, functional outcome, and even disruption to the procedure itself is unknown...
