Abstract | An 85-year-old woman presented with aphasia due to an occupying lesion in the left frontal lobe near the language area. Complete resection of the contrast-enhancing lesion was performed under awake conditions. The pathological diagnosis was anaplastic astrocytoma, and postoperative radiochemotherapy was administered. Awake surgery is a useful technique to reduce postoperative neurological sequelae and to maximize surgical resection. Although the patient was elderly, which is generally considered high risk, she did not have any severe neurological deficits and had a good outcome. Even in the extreme elderly, awake surgery can be useful for gliomas in language cortices.
