Abstract

glioma high grade nondominant surgical resection temporal
A relatively common location for high-grade gliomas is the temporal lobe, in which the incidence ranges from 15% to 25% in several series. Patients with temporal lobe gliomas typically present with seizures but can have more subtle deficits in neurocognitive function. Although nondominant temporal lobe lesions are considered to have lower risk profiles than corresponding lesions in the dominant hemisphere, surgery can still be associated with significant morbidity. In this chapter, we present a case of a right temporal lobe high-grade glioma.
