Insular Gliomas. Experience in a Latin American Center and Assessment of Variables Related to Surgical Management and Prognosis.

Objective: To describe our experience in the resection of gliomas involving the insula and analyze the variables implicated in the management and prognosis of these tumors.

Methods: This retrospective, single-center, analytic study included a cohort of 83 patients who underwent surgery for insular gliomas by the same surgeon in a third-level Argentine center, in the period between 2010 and 2023. We analyzed the population's demographic, clinical, and radiologic features and surgical variables associated with postoperative results and prognosis using multivariate regression analysis.

[Frontal aslant tract: Anatomy and implications in brain glioma neurosurgery].

The frontal aslant tract (FAT) connects the supplementary motor area (SMA) with the pars opercularis. Its role in language and its implications in glioma surgery remain under discussion. We present an anatomosurgical study of three cases with surgical resolution.

Delimitation of the risk area of the vertebral artery during the paramedian suboccipital approach.

Objective: The V3 segment of the vertebral artery (V3-VA) is at risk during diverse approaches to the craniovertebral junction. Our objective is to present a system of anatomic and topographic landmarks to identify the V3-VA during the paramedian suboccipital approach (PMSOA) with the help of minimal or basic tools.

Material And Methods: The first was a retrospective analysis of the angiotomography (CTA) of 50 patients over 18-years old, and 9 anatomical dissections.

Experience in awake glioma surgery in a South American center. Correlation between intraoperative evaluation, extent of resection and functional outcomes.

Introduction: Gliomas are the second most frequent primary brain tumors. Surgical resection remains a crucial part of treatment, as well as maximum preservation of neurological function. For this reason awake surgery has an important role.
