- Study explores the incidence of postoperative ischemic lesions in diffuse low-grade glioma (dLGG) resections.
- Ischemic lesions were found in 85.7% of cases, with 30.4% rim type and 55.2% sector type.
- Larger ischemic lesions (4.2 cm³) were linked to permanent major deficits compared to smaller ones (1.6 cm³).
- Sector-shaped lesions were more associated with transient neurological deterioration than rim-shaped lesions.
- Advanced imaging and neurosurgical techniques did not reduce the incidence of ischemic lesions.
- Preventing or limiting ischemic injuries is crucial for improving functional outcomes in dLGG surgery.
