Abstract:: The superior frontal gyrus (SFG) is home to the supplementary motor area (SMA), which is essential in the planning, initiation and execution of language and motor function, and is heavily involved in cognitive / neuropsychological circuits. Due to the vast interconnectedness of the SFG and SMA, resection of intrinsic brain tumors thus poses a significant challenge to avoid surgically induced morbidity and postoperative deficits. The aim of this study was to explore transient and permanent neuro(psycho)logical outcomes of patients with primary brain tumors in the SFG, particularly focusing on the transient nature of the SMA syndrome and assessing the correlation of varying parameters and the subsequent development of postoperative neuro(psycho)logical deficits.
