Abstract
Patients diagnosed with LGG involving the SMA reveal the impairment of cognitive functions, in particular language functions. After surgery, a significant impairment of all elementary cognitive functions, such as attention, memory, language and executive functions and complex cognitive functions, occurs. The most sensitive tests to detect cognitive disorders, executive dysfunctions and speech disturbances in patients undergoing surgery due to glioma include the MoCA, FAB and Phonetic and Semantic Fluency Tests.
