Upon admission, the patient underwent a thorough evaluation, including a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and a routine preoperative assessment. The diagnosis revealed a brain tumor in a critical area responsible for hand and speech functions. Given the complexity of the case, Dr. Krishna and his team decided to proceed with an awake craniotomy to excise the tumor.

The awake craniotomy procedure is a cutting-edge technique that allows surgeons to monitor the patient’s neurological function in real-time during surgery. This approach is particularly advantageous when operating on brain regions that control essential functions such as speech and motor skills. By keeping the patient awake and responsive, the surgical team can ensure that these critical functions remain intact.
