Neuro-oncology·2025

Mapping the visual cortex during awake craniotomy is rarely documented. This case report details the technical aspects of successfully mapping the visual cortex in a patient with a left medial occipital lobe glioma.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Neuro-oncology
Neurophysiology

Background:

Awake craniotomy with cortical mapping is established for sensorimotor and language areas.
Technical documentation for visual cortex mapping during awake craniotomy is scarce.
Gliomas in the occipital lobe pose unique surgical challenges due to proximity to visual pathways.
