Figure 1
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before initial operation showing the round ringed enhanced lesion in the left motor area without massive perifocal edema (upper). Postoperative MRI showing that the small remnant tumor left at the parietal side of removal cavity (lower).
Figure 2
MRI before second operation. Tractography which was caliculated by volume one showing corticospinal tract located at parietal side of the lesion (upper). Functional MRI by moving foot joint showing that hot spot of lower left and lower right looks almost as a mirror image.
Figure 3
MRI before fifth operation revealing that the enhanced lesion invades to the basal ganglia, left lateral ventricle, splenium, and internal capsule (upper). Postoperative MRI revealing that the enhanced lesion totally disappears.
Figure 4
MRI after fifth operation. Tractography in which the seeding point is placed at the cerebral peduncle, showing only fronto-pontine tract and temporo-pontine tract (upper). Functional MRI by the task of right knee extension and flexion showing the hot spot not only in the left cerebellum and right motor area but also in removal cavity.
Figure 5
Near-infrared spectroscopy after fifth operation. The left figure showing in the rest state and the right figure showing hot spot by the task of right knee extension and flexion in the right superior frontal gyrus and parietal lobe.
