About this trial

The goal of modern neurooncological surgery is to obtain maximum tumor resection while preserving neurological function. Parietal lobe gliomas often cause attention deficits (hemineglect) that are difficult to differentiate from other deficits. This study aims to evaluate the extent and variation over time of visuo-spatial deficits in patients undergoing surgical removal of parietal lobe gliomas. This will help characterize the cognitive profile of these patients to identify personalized treatment and rehabilitation paths.
