Tóm tắt

Clinical manifestations, findings, management and outcome of a series of 177 cases with tumours of the limbic and paralimbic systems are presented. There was no operative mortality. Postoperatively 95% of them had no or only minor neurological deficits. Most of them were able to resume work. Pre-operatively 77% of the patients had epilepsy, but 84% became seizure-free after tumour removal. All 77 cases with malignant tumours died within 1–5 years. In the past many neurosurgeons were reluctant to attempt complete tumour removal in these areas. This series demonstrates the efficacy of highly skilled microneurosurgery.
