Improved neuronavigation guidance as well as intraoperative imaging and neurophysiologic
monitoring technologies have enhanced the ability of neurosurgeons to resect focal …

BSGs account for approximately 10–20% of all childhood central nervous system (CNS)
tumors. An estimated 350–400 pediatric cases (3–4 per 100,000 pediatric population) were …

Objective NeuroNavigation (NN) is a widely used intraoperative imaging guidance
technique in neurosurgical operations; however, its value in brainstem glioma (BSG) surgery …

During the last 2 decades, the management of brain stem gliomas has evolved toward a
more aggressive surgical treatment. Accrued experience with intra-axial lesions has shown …

The goal of glioma surgery is maximal safe resection. These intrinsic brain neoplasms,
however, lack a clear margin and frequently infiltrate eloquent areas of the brain thus …

Although surgery is not curative for the majority of intracranial gliomas, radical resection has
been demonstrated to influence survival and delay tumor progression. Because gliomas are …

Modern glioma surgery has evolved around the central tenet of safely maximizing resection.
Recent surgical adjuncts have focused on increasing the maximum extent of resection while …

Introduction Brainstem gliomas have historically been one of the most difficult pediatric
cancers to treat. Tumors arising in the brainstem were once uniformly discounted as …

Brainstem gliomas occur in 10-20% of brain tumors in pediatrics. Over the past 3 decades,
the treatment of brainstem gliomas has significantly progressed as a result of the gradual …

Low-grade gliomas represent a wide spectrum of intra-axial brain tumors with diverse
presentations, radiographic and surgical appearances, and prognoses. While there remains …
