Awake Craniotomy for Diffuse Low Grade Gliomas in a Resource Limited Setting: Lessons Learned with a Consecutive Series of 51 Surgeries.

Objective: Despite benefits of awake craniotomy (AC) many centers do not have access to it. We demonstrated the oncological and functional results of our initial experience in implementing AC in a context of resource limited setting.

Methods: This prospective, observational, and descriptive study collected the first 51 AC for diffuse low-grade glioma, classified according to the 2016 World Health Organization.
