Surgical techniques and function outcome for cingulate gyrus glioma, how we do it.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cingulate cortex and cingulum both play crucial roles in limbic system. The aim of study is to observe and analyze surgical outcomes of cingulate gyrus glioma through extents of resection (EORs), overall survival (OS), and postsurgical neurological outcome.

Method

The authors retrospectively studied 95 consecutive adult cases of primary cingulate gliomas that all underwent craniotomies and tumor resection. The patients were classified into unitary sub-region based on the four-division model. The information of clinical symptoms, pathology, EOR, postoperative neurological outcome and survival were analyzed through group comparison.

Result

Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) were more prevalent (69.47%) for cingulate gyrus. Diffuse astrocytoma (40.00%) was most common hi
