Female, 46 years old, with history of right parietal lobe cavernoma, motor mapping requested for preoperative planning. Sensorimotor cortical activation of the hand, foot and face maps as expected along the pre- and post-central gyri. Cortical activation related to hand movement maps superior to the right parietal lesion, and cortical activation related to face and tongue movement maps anterior and lateral to the lesion.
Successful functional MRI for sensorimotor cortical mapping.
