Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Insular cavernomas present surgical challenges due to proximity to critical neurovascular structures.
  • Advancements in image guidance and intraoperative mapping have expanded surgical options.

Observation:

  • Four patients with insular cavernomas underwent surgical treatment between 1997 and 2007.
  • Image guidance systems (neuronavigation, ultrasound) were utilized for surgical planning and approach.
  • Intraoperative subcortical stimulation was employed to map and preserve language pathways in one case.

Findings:

  • Image guidance facilitated precise surgical planning and trajectory determination for insular cortex dissection.
  • Subcortical stimulation successfully identified critical language areas, preventing intraoperative deficits.

  • All patients experienced uneventful postoperative courses with no surgical complications.

    • Implications:

    • Image guidance systems are recommended for insular cavernoma surgery.
    • Intraoperative mapping of subcortical language pathways is crucial for lesions in the dominant hemisphere.
    • These techniques contribute to safer and more effective surgical management of insular cavernomas.
