Objective: Lower grade gliomas (LGG) often infiltrate eloquent regions, so that neurological impairment and oncological benefit by surgery have to be balanced. Aim of our study was to assess rate of permanent deficits and its risk factors in eloquently located LGGs.

Methods: We retrieved all patients harboring an eloquently located astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma WHO grade II or III from the prospective LoG-Glio Database. Patients without surgery or incomplete postoperative data were excluded. Finally, 83 patients met the inclusion criteria. Exploratory statistical assessment was performed. Correlations were calculated by Spearman`s rho. We used Sign rank test to evaluate differences in connected samples. Furthermore, multivariate regression analysis model for new permanent neurological deficits was calculated.

Results: Diffuse astrocytoma was found in 62% and 71% were identified as WHO grade II. Eloquent regions were predominantly motor (45%) and language (40%) cortex and fiber pathways. Awake surgery was done in 23% of cases, and intraoperative monitoring (IOM) was used in 80% of cases. Complete tumor removal (CTR) was intended in 51% and, based on radiological criteria, was achieved in 62% of those patients. At first follow up, National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) was significantly decreased in 27 patients compared to preoperative NIHSS values (33%, p<0.001). Further, comparing preoperative and follow up NHISS scores, an improvement was seen only in 5/71 patients (7%), while 27 patients remained stable (56%). Comparing postoperative and follow up NIHSS, no statistical difference was found (p=0.213). CTR (p=0.014, OR 18.5), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status > 0 (p=0.045, OR 5.7) were independent predictors for permanent postoperative deficit according to multivariable regression model.

Conclusion: Patients with eloquently located LGGs suffering from preoperative deficits are at risk to experience a further deterioration after surgery. Radical tumor resection in eloquent regions is associated with a high risk of permanent deficits which should be well consented with each patient and balanced with respective oncological benefit. Despite postoperative neurological improvement, only a minority of those patients presenting neurological deterioration after surgery recovered to their preoperative NIHSS.
