Objective To investigate the clinical value of neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound in the resection of glioma with epilepsy.Methods To review and analyze the clinical data of 47 glioma patients with epilepsy treated by intraoperative ultrasound-assisted neuronavigation during the period from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2014, and to compare and analyze the extent of gliom resection and the control of epilepsy before and after surgery.Results All the patients had no hematoma, infection or hemiplegia. MRI was reviewed 48 hours after surgery and MRI showed complete resection in 34 cases and subtotal resection in 13 cases. One year after the operation, the seizure control was evaluated. Engel’s class I, 17 cases, Engel’s class II, 20 cases, Engel’s class III, 10 cases. When the nerve function is protected, the tumor is removed and the epileptic seizure is controlled, and the clinical effect is remarkable.Conclusions Neuronavigation is helpful to locate the lesion and brain functional area and design the surgical approach before surgery, and to guide the location and boundary of the lesion and functional area during surgery. Intraoperative ultrasound has many advantages such as noninvasive, repeatable and real-time examination. Neuronavigation combined with intraoperative ultrasound can achieve maximum resection of gliomas and epileptogenic foci and reduce the incidence of postoperative neurological dysfunction in patients.
