Cerebrovascular disorders associated with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis: a case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Surgical resection of mass lesions in Broca's area is controversial. To demonstrate that pathology may influence the localization of functional areas and language performance, we reviewed our experience of awake craniotomies in Broca's area. METHODS:Sixteen consecutive patients who underwent awake craniotomy...
