ABSTRACT
Introduction: Diffuse gliomas are brain neoplasms with an infiltrative growing pattern to cortical and subcortical structures,
frequently adjacent to eloquent areas; direct cortical and subcortical stimulation in awake craniotomy is a useful tool to achieve
a gross total resection with the least neurological deficit.
Presentation of Cases: A 24 years old male presented with
tonic-clonic seizures. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a left parietal glioma. Awake craniotomy was performed
using neuronavigation system and brain mapping with cortical and subcortical stimulation. Functional areas were found at the
rostral margin of the tumor; however, the rest of the tumor was almost totally resected. Patient was discharged without neurological
deficit. A 29 years old male presented in two occasions generalized tonic-clonic seizures, with right hemiparesis.
The MRI showed a left parietal glioma. Awake craniotomy was performed using neuronavigation system and brain mapping
with cortical and subcortical stimulation, achieving a gross total resection. Patient was discharged without neurological deficit.
Conclusions: Awake craniotomy with brain mapping by cortical and subcortical stimulation and neuronavigation, are the best assets to treat diffuse gliomas and achieve a gross total resection, ensuring the major disease-free interval and preserving
the function of eloquent areas.
