Abstract		Surgery of cerebral lesions within the central region requires exact intraoperative anatomical orientation and knowledge of the site of functional cortical regions in order to minimize the surgical trauma and to avoid postoperative neurological deficits. We applied somatosensory evoked potentials phase reversal and/or cortical electrical stimulation with neuronavigation in 29 patients for localization and visualization of functional cortical areas and their anatomical site in relation to the lesion. The combination of these techniques provides save and reliable localization of the sensorimotor cortex and is a promising tool to minimize the risk of surgically caused sensory and motor deficits.
