An awake craniotomys primary goal is to remove the tumor or damaged cells as much as possible without affecting the patients capacity for clear thought or other crucial functions. This surgical procedure offers a better prognosis by balancing the maximum removal of lesions with the preservation of working zones. For patients with malignant gliomas, the current neurosurgical objective is to resection the large part of a tumor using contrast and not causing neurological deficits. Neurooncological patients are required to have further chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with a control MRI of the brain in 3 and 6 months. Real multidisciplinary work should be provided to improve each patients quality of life and overall survival. This paper aims to report a single case of successful awake craniotomy with fluorescence guidance and discuss the outcomes of the performed surgery.
