摘 要:Background: The role of the striatum in language remains poorly understood. I ntraoperative electrical stimulation during surgery for tumours involving the ca udate nucleus or putamen in the dominant hemisphere might be illuminating. Objec tives: To study the role of these structures in language, with the aim of avoidi ng postoperative definitive aphasia. Methods: 11 patients with cortico- subcort ical low grade gliomas were operated on while awake, and striatal functional map ping was done. Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation was used while the p atients carried out motor and naming tasks during the resection. Results: In fiv e cases of glioma involving the dominant putamen, stimulations induced anarthria , while in six cases of glioma involving the dominant caudate, stimulations elic ited perseveration. There was no motor effect. The striatum was systematically p reserved. Postoperatively, all patients except one had transient dysphasia which resolved within three months. Conclusions: There appear to be two separate basa l ganglia systems in language, one mediated by the putamen which might have a mo tor role, and one by the caudate which might have a role in cognitive control. T hese findings could have implications for surgical strategy in lesions involving the dominant striatum.Background: The role of the striatum in language remains poorly understood.
