Preferential brain locations of low‐grade gliomas

The objectives of this study were to register the brain locations in a consecutive series of low‐grade gliomas (LGGs) and compare these localizations with the locations of de novo glioblastomas (GBMs) that were collected during the same period in an effort to analyze whether LGGs are situated in preferential areas and to review the pathophysiologic hypothesis of such a phenomenon.
