Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation for preoperative functional diagnostics in brain tumor surgery

Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method for analyzing cortical function. To utilize TMS for presurgical functional diagnostics, the magnetic impulse must be precisely targeted by stereotactically positioning the coil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of TMS for operation planning when combined with a sensor-based electromagnetic navigation system (nTMS). Preoperative functional mapping with nTMS was performed in 10 patients with rolandic tumors. Intraoperative mapping was performed with the "gold standard" of direct cortical stimulation. Stimulation was performed in the same predefined 5-mm raster for both modalities, and the results were compared. In regard to the 5-mm mapping raster, the centers of gravity of nTMS and direct cortical stimulation were located at the same spot in 4 cases and at neighboring spots in the remaining 6 cases. The mean distance between the tumor and the nearest motor response ("safety margin") was 7.9 mm (range, 5-15 mm; standard deviation, 3.2 mm) for nTMS and 6.6 mm (range, 0-12 mm; standard deviation, 3.4 mm) for direct cortical stimulation. nTMS allowed for reliable, precise application of the magnetic impulse, and the peritumoral somatotopy corresponde...Continue Reading

Benign Rolandic Epilepsy

Benign Rolandic epilepsy is a partial idiopathic epilepsy of childhood presenting with a nocturnal seizure and with a typical EEG showing centrotemporal spike and multifocal or generalized sharp slow waves. Here is the latest research.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
