Cognitive impairment and psychological distress are highly prevalent in BT patients before neurosurgery. Although depression and distress may adversely impact quality of life and prognosis of BT patients, our current findings do not confirm that distress has strong negative impact on objective preoperative cognitive functioning. However, it is related to worse subjective evaluation of one’s cognitive abilities. Therefore, objective neuropsychological assessment of cognitive functions is highly recommended despite concern.
