Abstract：Insular lobe is located at the bottom of the lateral sulcus,and is separated from the frontal,temporal,and parietal lobes by the annular sulcus around it.The tip of the insula is called the insular threshold.The lobe hidden in the deep of the lateral sulcus of the brain is covered by the parietal,frontal,and temporal lobes,and its deep surface is respectively the most outer capsule,the parietal nucleus,the putamen,the outer capsule,and the anterior and posterior limbs of the inner capsule,which is one of the most common sites of gliomas.Because of its deep location,adjacent to important functional areas and blood vessels,and the difficulty in accurately judging the boundary during surgery,the surgical treatment of insular gliomas is difficult.Yasargil first reported the surgical treatment of limbic system and paralimbic system tumors in 1992,starting a new chapter in the surgical treatment of insular tumors.In recent years,with the progress of intraoperative assisted techniques,the feasibility and safety of surgical treatment of insular gliomas have been greatly improved.This article reviewed the research progress of surgical treatment and intraoperative assisted techniques of insular gliomas,providing reference for clinical practice.
