摘要: Neuropsychological testing is not a luxury in the management of patients with brain tumors. Regardless therapeutic approach selected each case (but, especially awake surgery), it provides information on status language and other cognitive functions. This can be used preoperatively to identify eloquent areas provide baseline against which further examinations evaluated, intraoperatively areas, post-operatively at follow-up ascertain short-term long-term consequences surgery, as well those treatments (chemotherapy radiotherapy), plan monitor rehabilitative treatments.
