Sažetak
Kirurško uklanjanje tumora mozga smještenih u elokventnim regijama mozga često je povezano s visokim rizikom od izazivanja postoperativnih deficita. Preoperativne tehnike koje pomažu neurokirurgu u planiranju operacije jesu funkcionalna magnetska rezonancija (fMRI) i odnedavno navigacijska transkranijalna magnetska stimulacija (nTMS) koja se sve učestalije rabi na neurokirurškim klinikama u svijetu. U literaturi postoje dokazi o visokom stupnju anatomske i funkcionalne točnosti metode TMS-a u mapiranju mozga. U ovome preglednom radu opisuju se metoda i načela rada nTMS-a te obrazlažu dokazi koji pokazuju vrijednost preoperativne pretrage nTMS-om u kliničkoj praksi radi očuvanja motoričkih i govorno-jezičnih funkcija mozga od ozljeda koje mogu nastupiti tijekom resekcije tumora ili epileptičkog žarišta.
Summary

The surgical removal of brain tumours in eloquent brain regions is frequently associated with a high risk of causing postoperative deficits. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) techniques are the preoperative techniques proposed to help neurosurgical planning, with recently increased use of nTMS at neurosurgical departments. A high level of evidence is now accessible in the literature regarding the anatomical and functional accuracy of this mapping technique. This article presents the principles and evidences demonstrating the value of using nTMS in clinical practice to preserve motor or language functions from harmful lesions secondary to brain tumour resections or epilepsy surgery.
