Case 2. (a)–(e), 3D brain images on the workstation; (g)–(i), intraoperative pictures; (j)–(l), results of fMRI. The speech centre (orange regions) was located posterior to the lesion; (f), plain craniogram obtained after surgery; (g), image taken just after opening the dura to identify the preoperatively planned sulci and gyri; (h), image taken at the time of corticotomy; (i), image taken after haemostasis was accomplished.
