ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the operation process,extent of resection,protection function,the tumor recurrence and clicical value of neuronavigation with intraoperative ultrasound for treating functional glioma;signifi-cance of intraoperative ultrasound for correcting brain shift.Methods We analyzed the cliclical materical of 24 case of functional gliomas which were resected by neuronavigation with intraoperative ultrasound.Results The accuracy of localization of functional glioma was 100%.The distance of brain shift was 2 to 10mm,with an average 4.7mm.After 24 hours MRI confirmed that total removal of function glioma was achieved in 21 cases,subtotal in 3 cases.After oper-ation function improve was 20 cases,invalid of 2 cases,hemiplegia happened in 2 cases and no death in all the patients.Conclusion Neuronavigation with intraoperative ultrasound can correct brain shift and improve the accuracy of localization of functional glioma,to improve extent of function glioma and decrease dysfunction.Neuronavigation with intraoperative ultrasound is important to functional glioma.
