Abstract:
Functional MRI is a reliable, noninvasive technique which allows spatial mapping of the various functions like sensorimotor, language and vision in the brain. This is of immense help to the neurosurgeon in presurgical planning and intraoperative navigation in order to identify and preserve eloquent areas of the brain and minimize post-surgical neurological deficits. Using this technique in children pose unique challenges. This article discusses some of these challenges and how they can be overcome in successful application of this technique in pediatric patients.
