Intraoperative brain mapping maximizes tumor removal while preserving function. However, optimal anesthesia protocols for awake craniotomy remain undetermined, necessitating further research.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Intraoperative brain mapping aims to maximize tumor resection and minimize neurological deficits.
  • Awake craniotomy with direct electrical stimulation requires patient collaboration for language testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review anesthesiological protocols for intraoperative brain mapping.
  • To identify factors crucial for managing patients undergoing awake craniotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on anesthesiological techniques for intraoperative brain mapping.
  • Analysis of patient selection and team communication in awake craniotomy.

Main Results:

  • Various anesthesiological protocols exist, from local anesthesia to general anesthesia.

  • Common complications include seizures, respiratory depression, and patient distress.
  • Optimal anesthetic regimen lacks consensus.

    • Conclusions:

    • Careful patient selection and interdisciplinary communication are vital for awake craniotomy.
    • Prospective, multicenter randomized trials are needed to determine the optimal anesthesiological approach for intraoperative brain mapping.
