Usefulness and Limits of Tractography for Surgery in the Precentral Gyrus—A Case Report

The resection of tumors within the primary motor cortex is a constant challenge. Although tractography may help in preoperative planning, it has limited application. While it can give valuable information on subcortical fibers, it is less accurate in the cortical layer of the brain. A 38-year-old pa...
