Postoperative language course vs. musicality. An overall decrease of language performance (mean/SD z-value) was observed within the first three months (T1 vs. T2) in our included cohort (n = 44, -0.255/0.966) but patients with more musical experience tended to recover better on the non-word repetition subtest (phonologic domain) (A: -0.425/0.951 vs. B: -0.001/1.14 vs. C: 0.028/0.566, p = 0.19) and the sentence repetition subtest (phonologic domain) (A: -0.202/0.683 vs. B: 0.036/1.92 vs. C: 0.125/1.32, p = 0.446).

Background
Awake craniotomy is used to resect tumor while preserving language. However, differences between patients in post-operative speech/language outcome are observed despite careful intra-operative monitoring. Literature describes improved performance in language tasks during cognitive tests in musicians. Moreover increased white matter conne...

Standard of care in glioma surgery involves maximal-safe resection. Intraoperative stimulation mapping can improve the extent of resection in eloquent area tumors. Resection is performed during awake craniotomy (AC) or under general anesthesia (GA). Considering the advances in glioma management, an updated meta-analysis is needed. We identified stu...
Awake craniotomy is performed for resection of lesions located within or close to the eloquent areas of the brain. Both asleep-awake-asleep technique and conscious sedation have been used effectively for awake craniotomies, and the choice of optimal anesthetic regime is mainly as per the preferences of the anesthesiologist and surgical team. Propof...
Brain tumors rarely present during pregnancy; however, a life-threatening interaction may develop between maternal and disease factors. Moreover, awake surgery has been an infrequent treatment option during this life stage. We contribute to this knowledge gap by presenting the case of a 33-year-old woman who developed tonic-clonic seizures during t...
Introduction
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication, and it has a high incidence in neurosurgery patients. Awake craniotomy (AC) has been widely performed in patients with glioma in eloquent and motor areas. Most of the surgical procedure is frontotemporal craniotomy, and the operation duration has been getting longer. Patients under...
Background
Picture-naming tasks are widely used for identifying speech-eloquent regions during awake craniotomy. However, language-specific and culturally relevant task stimuli remain scarce. Current practices mostly rely on translated stimuli that do not reflect the everyday language use of the target speakers and might be susceptible to misinterp...
