| Abstract |
Awake surgery to preserve language function in young children is challenging, therefore reliable non-invasive work-up of language functional anatomy is needed to preserve language function at any cost. Furthermore, there are obvious limitations of an awake craniotomy with direct stimulation on a child. A 6-year-old boy with a low-grade glioma of the left temporal lobe suffering from epileptic seizures underwent surgery, guided by preoperative transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) language mapping and consecutive DTI fiber tracking. We report successful surgery of a language eloquent brain tumor in a young child based on TMS mapping and DTI fiber tracking alone. Surgical treatment of left-sided perisylvian tumors in children is discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,647,094
of 23,100,534 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#1,451
of 2,821 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,705
of 334,082 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#41
of 89 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,100,534 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,821 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,082 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 89 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
