Surgical treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) is a radical treatment modality. Safe and radical removal is expected to help prevent future hemorrhage and symptomatic deterioration. However, there are BAVMs that are unsuitable for surgical intervention and an eloquently located BAVM is known to increase the surgical risk [1–4]. In particular, in the Rolandic area, ie, the motor and sensory areas, surgical morbidity is directly linked to the independence of the patient. Hence, it is still challenging to surgically treat these entities. Indicators for safe removal of Rolandic BAVMs are necessary but have not been determined thus far.In addition to factors such as well-known hemorrhagic onset, unruptured BAVM, size, and deep venous drainage that are included in the Spetzler-Martin (SM) grading scale [1–4], several surgical risk factors for eloquent BAVM have been reported in recent years, such as cortical reorganization and plasticity of motor area visualized via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)[5], BAVM lesion-tocorticospinal tract (CST) distance assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)[6, 7], and BAVM lesion-to-activation area distance (LAD) assessed by fMRI [8]. They can help predict postoperative neurological outcomes in the eloquent area and these factors contributed to acceptable long-term outcomes [6, 9], along with transient but finally reversible surgical morbidity. Thus, there is a possibility of plasticity and cortical reorganization of the cortical region. Impairment of the CST and deep white fibers may be more critical and irreversible in the Rolandic area. However, production of a uniform image is sometimes difficult with DTI and fMRI because of various methodological limitations [10]. The imaging results may differ between institutions and the type
