Özet

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to show using 5 illustrative cases that the transcortical route for resection of mediobasal temporal region (MBTR) lesions is safe and effective when performed with awake functional mapping and knowledge of the relevant subcortical anatomy. Although several have been proposed, there is a paucity of reports on transcorticosubcortical approaches to these lesions, particularly in patients with posterior-superior extension. We present a case series of 5 patients with left posterior MBTR gliomas and summarize the relevant subcortical anatomy knowledge of what is a prerequisite for safe resection.
