Linguistic Intraoperative Protocol

Abstract

The Dutch Linguistic Intraoperative Protocol-EP (DuLIP-EP) is a culturally adapted and validated instrument that allows language evaluation in patients with low-grade gliomas submitted to awake brain surgery. It assesses language areas which are related to different brain regions and pathways. In this paper, each task included in DuLIP-EP is presented and some preliminary results from its application to a normal Portuguese population are discussed.
