Abstract

Insular high-grade gliomas are commoner than thought and nearly half of these are grade IV tumors (51%). A presentation with seizures may indicate precursor low-grade gliomas and portend a better survival. A maximum "safe" surgical resection, keeping the postoperative quality of life in mind, should be the goal.
