    Epileptic seizures frequently occur in patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) and can persist even after gross total resection (GTR).

  • 2

    SupraTotal Resection (SpTR) may improve seizure freedom in LGG-related epilepsy by including epileptic foci in the surgical resection.

  • 3

    Intraoperative Electrocorticography (iECoG) and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) are used to identify and localize epileptic foci during surgery.

  • 4

    The study evaluates the efficacy of iECoG and nTMS in improving surgical outcomes and minimizing postoperative neurological deficits.

  • 5

    Patients underwent comprehensive preoperative assessments, including MRI and EEG, to guide the surgical approach and optimize seizure management.
