Brief Summary

Background : The supplementary motor area is the most common/preferential brain location of LGG. This area plays an important role in many motor and cognitive functions such as motor initiation, bimanual coordination and executive functions. Many studies describe the supplementary motor area syndrome resulting from lesions in this area. News managements for LGGs consisting in intraoperative mapping in awake patients reduce significantly neurological disorders and increase also the overall survival . However, the literature does not provide data concerning motor and cognitive functions in a long term and their consequences in the quality of life of patients.

Objective : The aim of our research project is to identify whether there are some motor or neurocognitive deficit in the short and the long term in a population of patients who have medical story of LGG resection in the supplementary motor area.

Detailed Description

Patients and Methods : 20 patients who have medical story of LGG in the supplementary motor area and 20 patients who have medical story of LGG resection in other locations are recruited. Firstly, patients have to complete a self-assessment questionnaire about their quality of life, sent by regular mail or e-mail. Then, patients are admitted on the same day as their follow up visit and underwent motor and neurocognitive screening tests ( "Bilan des 400 points", Tests of Attentional Performances) for an hour. The investigators will analyse data and compare between the 2 groups.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
motor tests in the case group - 400 point assessmentinclusion visit

analysis of the scores obtained at the tests 4 tests :

* Hand mobility

* Grip strength

* Single-handed grasp and movement of objects

* Two-handed grasp and movement of objects Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 100 100/100 means that the various tests regain good motor skills and hand grasp

neuropsychological tests in the case groupinclusion visit

analysis of the scores obtained Phase alert system

* Reaction time (RT) and standard deviation (SD) measurement with horn

* Measurement of reaction times (RT) and standard deviation(SD) without horn

* Measurement of the phase alert index

Flexibility

* Measurement of reaction times (RT) and standard deviation (SD) with hand change

* Measurement of reaction times (RT) and standard deviation (SD) without hand change

* Overall performance index

* Speed accuracy trade off index

* Number of wrong answers

Incompatibility

* Measurement of reaction times (RT) and standard deviation (SD) in compatible condition

* Measurement of reaction times (RT) and standard deviation (SD) in incompatible condition

* F (visual field)

* F (hand)

* F (incompatibility: fields \* hand)

* Number of false responses

RT min : 0 SD min : 0 No maximum value: calculation against standard values

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
fatigue self-questionnaire carried out at home : fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)inclusion visit

analysis of the results obtained 40 questions with responses

* It is quite true

* It is rather true

* It is neither true nor false

* It is rather false

* It is completely false

Brain MRIinclusion visit

Analysis of the lesion volume of diffuse low-grade gliomas

quality of life self-questionnaire carried out at home : sickness Impact Profileinclusion visit

analysis of the results obtained 136 questions with responses True or False Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 136 136/136 means that the quality of life is very negatively affected
