Utility of presurgical navigated transcranial magnetic brain stimulation for the resection of tumors in eloquent motor areas

Abstract

Navigated TMS correlates well with DCS as a gold standard despite factors that are supposed to contribute to the inaccuracy of nTMS. Moreover, surgeons have found nTMS to be an additional and helpful modality during the resection of tumors affecting eloquent motor areas, as well as during preoperative planning.
