Popis: Introduction: Resection of gliomas in eloquent areas such as motor and supplementary motor areas has always been a main challenge for the surgeon due to the risk of severe neurological sequelae. An important tool used during the procedure to avoid postoperative deficits is the intraoperative cortical stimulation of eloquent areas as a safe option of functional area mapping. Methods: In this study, authors examined 50 patients with gliomas located in the motor and supplementary motor area that have undergone surgery with cortical stimulation, using clinical assessment of muscle strength in the pre- and immediate postoperative assessments and three months after surgery as parameters. Results: There was significant difference (p
