Appendix 2

Patient characteristics and outcome.

Abbreviations: # - asleep-awake-asleep surgery under 5-ALA fluorescence; * - significant clinical deterioration in early postsurgical period; f – female; m – male; F – frontal; T – temporal; P – parietal; O – occipital lobe; GTR – gross total resection based on contrasting T1-weight imaging; ACA – anterior cerebral artery; CUSA – Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator; KPS – Karnofsky Performance Scale score; UNK – unknown (patient lost to follow-up); NA – not applicable (the patient is still alive at the moment of evaluation).
